Passenger compartment
Fuse box is located on the right side, at the feet of the front passenger. For access, we go down under the glove compartment and unscrew the three screws.
We remove the released cover. Raise our head and in the space that appears on top we find a green screw on the right side.
Unscrewing it – the fuse box will fall to the floor (go down).
It will look something like this.

Is there a relay or fuse for the air suspension compressor dryer..?
waiting on reply to mitchell e woods as was about to ask same question
My electric cooling fan quit working and works when hooked up to direct power source, but will not work connected to the power source of the car. Where is the fuse located on a 2008 bmw x5 4.8i?
