Localization and diagram of the fuse box of the BMW 5 Series E39

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Fuse box

In this video we can see the location and diagram of the fuse boxes of the BMW 5 Series E39 version: the first box is located in the engine compartment, on the right side, between the windshield wiper arm and the front shock absorber mount. In the cabin, we find a fuse box in the glove compartment, which can be reached by opening the compartment itself, and rotating the two clips to the left and then lowering the panel. Behind this, we also find the relay unit, composed of six large pieces and two small ones. Another block is located on the ground, under the trim, on the right side of the car. Finally, we also find a fuse box in the trunk, always on the right side, behind a plastic cover.
