Location and diagram of the fuse boxes of the BMW Series 5 E39 version

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

Let's see the layout and diagram of the fuse boxes of the BMW Series 5 E39 version; we find the box inside the engine compartment located in front of the passenger (left-hand drive) under the grille at the end of the windshield. Inside, the configuration of the fuses can be of two types, depending on the equipment. A second box is located inside the cabin, at the top of the glove compartment (we will need to turn two butterfly screws to access it) and on the right side are some relays. Another container is located on the floor, under the passenger mat (still considering a left-hand drive). Also in the trunk, above the right wheel arch, we find a fuse box, accessible by removing the carpet panel covering it.
