Model: BMW X3 MK 1, E83 - Years 2003-2010

Below are the steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the blower resistor of the BMW X3 cabin fan.

Then, we unscrew the screws of the cabin fan to access the fan resistor, as shown in the video. At this point, we disconnect the electrical connector and remove the resistor, replacing it with the new one. We connect it and test the fan speeds!

How to deactivate the safe lock on a Volkswagen Golf.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
