on the mway the other day my blower (fuse 20) stopped working

i assumed fuse had blown and checked it to discover it was ok i also had intermittent windows which are now fine?

on playing with the fuses i discovered that on removing fuse 10 (for the OBC,instruments, SI board) the blower would function perfectly

does anyone have a clue as to why this is? i have no idea apart from maybe some kind of short in the fuse box> or maybe the SI board playing up however i dont see how this would affect the blower in any way


no blower in minus weather is not fun!

cheers,

tell me about it! my m535i has the heater matrix plumbed outa the system as it was leaking. did that months ago, so when i stated using it recently while the 335 is being upgraded i got a bit of a shock. went to sheffield and back at the weekend and had to stop twice on the way back to thaw out in a services, so so cold!

um can't help with your problem though dude sorry :offtopic:

your blowers work off relay K5 and the earth point is the green and blak wiore tha comes off the starter motor check th relay first but earth out this wire to the body or battery and all will be well !
