The BMW 3 Series E46 model has a fuse box inside. The fuse box is located inside the cabin; specifically inside the passenger side glove compartment.

To replace a fuse if necessary, we must open the glove compartment and remove the top cover to access the box. Using needle-nose pliers, we extract the non-functioning fuse and insert a new one. It is important to use the same amperage during replacement as using the wrong amperage could damage the control unit.
