Where is the fuse box located in a BMW 320?
2 Answers
The fuse box of the BMW 320i is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove compartment, remove the interior trim panel to access the fuse box. Additionally, there is another fuse box on the side of the trunk. The steps to replace a fuse in the BMW 320i are as follows: 1. Before inspection, turn off the vehicle and shut down all power sources. 2. Locate the corresponding position, open the protective cover, and you can see the component information on the inside of the fuse box. 3. Use a test pen to check whether the fuse is blown. If it is damaged, remove it with tweezers and replace it. 4. Only fuses with the same current rating (indicated by the same color and printed text) and identical size should be used for replacement. 5. If the corresponding component still does not work after replacement, seek professional repair immediately.
I researched this when I owned an older BMW 320. Its fuse box is usually hidden in two locations: Open the engine bay, and you'll find a black plastic cover on the left side near the windshield - lift it to reveal a cluster of fuses. The other spot is behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to empty the storage compartment first, then firmly press the clips on both sides to remove the entire glove box. The square cover on the back panel can be pried open to access it. The exact position might vary slightly depending on the model year. I recommend first checking the wiring diagram section in your vehicle's manual - it's guaranteed to have clear markings. If you can't find the manual, don't panic. Just search online for 'your car model year + fuse box location' and you'll definitely find actual demonstration videos shared by fellow owners, which are much more intuitive than text descriptions.
