Unlike most car models, the BMW 3 Series has only one fuse box: it is located in the glove compartment. Open the glove compartment and slightly unscrew the two locking clips.

This will open the cover for the fuse box. To find the fuse you are looking for in case of an electrical failure, refer to the table shown in the video or the one that may be present on the back of the fuse box cover; otherwise, check the owner's manual.

Some of the most sought-after fuses are number 8, which is for the cigarette lighter, and number 14, which is for the radio.
