Locating the Fuse Box

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

If any electrical component does not respond to commands or a light does not turn on, it is likely that the corresponding protective fuse has blown. The fuse is an electrical device designed to protect a circuit from overcurrents (caused, for example, by short circuits). The operation is very simple: the fuse consists of a cartridge, through which a thin conductor wire passes, carrying the nominal current of the circuit to be protected. This wire is the actual fusible element, with a specific amperage rating. When an overcurrent occurs, the filament melts, causing the circuit to open. In the case of the vehicle in question, the fuse box with the corresponding diagram is located inside the glove compartment.
