    Fuse Panel in English?

    Mine is in Italian

    I came back to my car from lunch and my door locks did not work, and got in and my windows don't work. My interior lights work if that helps (from reading recent threads about door locks.) It's pretty hot today and my tourer was in direct sun for an hour. Came home and have begun trouble shooting fuses when I remembered my fuse panel legend is in Italian. I thought it was #17, but I pulled it and can't see that it's broken. I don't have any spares on me without going to the dealer, but if anyone can help me trouble shoot before the trip, I would be most thankful.

    1995 M5T Italian Dealer edition.

    Just turned 162,000kms yesterday so I'm guessing I am about to experience the 100k gremlin blues.

    Thanks!

    just to clarify, I just need a pic of the fuse panel schematic from an M5 to help me trouble shoot why my locks have stopped working as well as my windows.

    or a link to a fuse schematic that's in English

    thanks.

    or a link to a fuse schematic that's in English that I can read even with bi-focals and a flashlight

    thanks.

    If your radio & sunroof are also dead, it's likely the "fusible link":

    Here's the fuse cover from a 92 735i for what it's worth. There may be more fuses/components under the rear seat on the driver's side that are related to it. Find a .pdf Bentleys schematic.

    Google language translator could be your friend. I would help with a pic but mine is in German so you would still have to translate.

    So the sunroof is dead too. The fusible link is under the seat on the positive lead of the battery cable right??

    It was a 30 amp fuse under the seat..either 32,33, or 44, I can't remember. I bought a cache of fuses that came with this little yellow testor...now that's handy item to have in your roadside kit.

    Now all I need is for one of you touring guys to snap a hi-res pic of the two fuse legends, and I will check that against an M5T if //Manual gets me his.

    It has to be from a touring though.

    wouldn't it be pretty easy to just look for a blown one and replace it? If none are blown, no translation is needed.... at least not for now....
    IF MY CAPS OFFEND YOU, BLOCK ME.
    AND IF YOU NOTICE THE FIRST LETTER OF EACH WORD CAP'ED...... IT'S DONE AUTOMATICALLY BY THE FORUM BECAUSE I TYPE IN ALL CAPS.BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS DO THIS, LIKE WHEN I QUOTE OTHER POSTS.AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT, REFER TO FIRST SENTENCE IN MY SIG.

    I did find it thank you. And now I want an English panel print out. Aquila want to host your two for me? Or another US tourer owner want to post their two for me...please?




    They should look just like these. It was #44 if anyone was wondering,,under the seat.

    And are those pn's on the lower right? Could we find labels in realOEM and print them off ourselves?

    Let's see your fuse panels in English!! Then we can all go one place to find possible fuse issues.

    quite easy, you have the fuse numbers. Here are the wiring diagrams by built year and all fuses are shown there in the fuse list with English name and for what they are

    Always have spare fuses along with you in the fuse lid, otherwise one may end up stranded just because you never got any spares!

    Thanks once again Shogun! I will certainly print this out and put it in the spare wheel well. However, I still want the English print out that fits under the fuse panel under the hood and the other under the seat.

    Question:
    Could these pn's lead to English versions of the print sheet? They go up vertically on the right side of both panels.
    8 366 111 E0225.E
    8 369 117 E5893.G

    That would be killer if I could overlay the English version of what I have already. Is there a way of plugging these into RealOEM?

    Thanks again

    also, Miche, I now have every fuse in numbers and a handy fuse puller/testor thanks to AutoZone

    I tried taking a photo of the fuse cover in English but it's illegible.
    Perhaps a high res I could e-mail.
    Never mind.
    I have a spare cover if you want
    PN on label('94 530im) is 8 366 109

    Come on! You can do it. Just use the little flower feature which allows close focus and hold the camera still until it gets to its sharpest focus and squeeze the button slowly. It will come out just like mine.

    Thanks in advance Ross!

    How about a way to print off these pn's I found?
