Why can’t u people show more of the engine compartment fuses and relays
Hello BMW X3 2005 2.5 ltr as soon as I start the engine the fan starts running. I have changed two temp switches located in lower hose another one under the intake, water pump and thermostat. Also, lower radiator hose is cold and upper turns hot. I cannot find fan regulator to change that might solve the problem. Can anyone help me please.
It’s common for the fan to run whenever the ac/defroster is on. Try turning all the heat-a/c controls off.
You need to bleed your cooling system as it has an airlock causing hot spot reading at sensor.
Running lights on driver side losses voltage after being on for a few minutes. Is there a relay for them or am I needing a new harness?
Is the fuse for the alternator / a charging relay not in any of those boxes? Is it straight on the alternator in these cars? Or is there a term im not familiar with that will help me find that specific fuse?
I’m looking for the alternator fuse as well..my x3 is a “lil beotch”!!
Can’t figure out why my sunroof,windows,AC,light indicators ( signals, headlights) heated front seats,mirrors and probably a couple other things won’t work. I changed the general component module and put a new battery in it the reset it . There was two different codes to choose from when it was hooked to the computer has that got anything to do with my hair being pulled out 🤬
cual es el fusible del maletero,,, no abre
I driving my bmw x3 stop after hitting humps on the road but it has failed to bring back check engine light
