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

In this video, you can see where the relays are located in the BMW X3 E83, which are the first components to check, along with their respective fuses, if any of the various devices are malfunctioning. As shown, the box containing all the relays is located inside the engine compartment, protected by the black cover on the passenger side. In case of a faulty relay or fuse, make sure to use replacements with the same specifications and always operate with the vehicle turned off, otherwise, you may damage the connected devices or yourself.
