In this video we see the location of the fuse boxes of the BMW 3 Series E46 version: we find the first box inside the passenger compartment, behind the glove compartment. To access it we must open it, turn the two clips and lower the panel.

Behind the glove compartment we also find a series of high power fuses, numbered from 101 to 107. We also find a small box containing four relays; we also find the headlight washer module relay, inserted individually, like the A/C compressor relay. In the trunk we find a second fuse box, which contains a high power fuse and a relay, and is located on the right wheel arch; here we also find the rear window defroster relay.

On the back of the central console we find the heating fan relay. In the engine compartment there is an electronic box, located above the left shock absorber mount, which contains many relays and high power fuses.
