This is how retarded BMW decided to put the fuse box…
It sits a few inches behind the glove box opening, with a tiny access door.
See the really tiny fuses on the right side next to the black relay. The odd looking blue one 2nd from the bottom was the one I had to replace.
Try pulling that one out with your hands or a fuse puller is like really really difficult. I ended up taking out the yellow fuse right below it first with a pair of pliers and then had more room to grab the blue one.
And then trying to put both of them back in was a pain in the ass because the black relay on the left and the large cable harness on the right doesn’t give you a lot of room to work with even with a pair of pliers…And you can’t move around to position yourself when you can’t open the passenger door…
I was finally able to squeeze in the blue fuse after trying for a long time, and that was enough to open the passenger door…Then spent the rest of my time putting in the yellow fuse with half my body sticking out.
Who thinks of this shit? “Oh, let’s put the fuse box in the most obscure and difficult to reach location for even people with smaller hands, just so we can charge $200/hr for a technician to do it…” I’m sure there’s probably some special BMW fuse puller tool that probably costs $1000 just to change a fuse.
