To manage the operation of the devices mounted on the BMW 3 Series, you need to locate the fuses contained within the single fuse box installed in the vehicle: this is located inside the cabin, on the inner side of the glove compartment on the passenger side.

To find it, open the glove compartment and loosen the screws that secure the panel at the top inside: behind this panel, you will find the fuses.

Here, you can locate the fuses that control the operation of the airbags, instrument cluster, horn, etc.
