Before starting, open the front door of your BMW 3 Series. Begin by removing the front windshield wipers by unscrewing the mounting bolts.

Next, remove the under cover to access the cabin fan cover. Once done, unclip and remove the cover, then unscrew and remove the screws securing the fan. At this point, pull the fan out of its housing, then disconnect the electrical connector.

Once you complete this step, the disassembly will be finished.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
