How to Replace a Fuse in the BMW 325

Fuses are essential to the 325's electrical system.

The fuse box is a key part of the BMW 325's electrical system. It holds the fuses necessary for the lights, radio, heating and cooling system, locks and all other electric components to operate properly. Checking for a blown fuse is the smart do-it-yourselfer's first step when troubleshooting an electrical problem. Replacing a blown fuse costs no more than the the few minutes it takes to switch fuses and the minimal cost of the fuse itself.

Instructions

1. Remove the contents of your glove compartment.

2. Remove by hand the two plastic screws holding the rear panel in place, and remove the rear panel to reveal the fuse box. Turn over the rear panel to view the fuse diagram.

3. Pull the red, plastic fuse puller from the fuse box and use it to remove the fuse you want to change and to insert the replacement fuse. Replace the fuse puller and reattach the rear panel.
