Replacing the Fan Switch on BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Radiator

Today, locate the switch connected to the radiator fan on the BMW 3 Series E90. To access it, you will have a lengthy task, as you must first disassemble the front of the car, starting from the bumper and reaching the radiator fan (you will also need to drain the coolant). For these maintenance tasks, refer to other tutorials. Once you have done this, you will finally notice the connector shown in the video: it is located on the intake air duct leading to the aforementioned fan. At this point, extract the connector by pressing the appropriate tab, and then you can remove the switch by pressing it on the sides.
