I know exactly where the transfer case fuse is located in the BMW X3 because I dealt with a similar issue myself last year. It's hidden in the engine compartment - after opening the hood, look toward the driver's side. The fuse box sits near the windshield area. Lift that black cover and you'll see rows of fuses. Look for the slot labeled 'transfer case' or 'xDrive actuator' - the exact labeling may vary slightly by model year, but the owner's manual definitely has a clear diagram. Remember to turn off the engine and remove the key before inspection to prevent electric shock. Blown fuses are commonly caused by circuit shorts or overloads. Replacing it with a new fuse is simple, but if it happens frequently, I recommend taking it to a professional shop for a thorough transfer case module check to avoid future trouble. Regular maintenance to keep the fuse box area dust-free can extend the system's lifespan.
