Guide to Locating Fuses

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Checks and maintenance

Fuses protect the electrical devices inside the vehicle. Typically, the fuse box is located inside the cabin, and its position varies from vehicle to vehicle. In this guide's example, it is found under the dashboard on the passenger side. To access it, simply open the cover that keeps it closed. Once the cover is opened, you will be directly in front of the fuse box to check. The guide shows that to identify the fuses, there is a sort of map indicating which devices the various fuses are connected to. This map can be found in the owner's manual or on the cover that protects the fuses themselves.
