2001 BMW 5 Series E39 Fuse Box Diagram

From the September 2000 facelift (model year 2001) the 5 Series carries a new allocation card, edition 6 907 364, in the glove compartment: the front cigarette lighter moved onto fuse 7 and the fuel pump onto 22. The box itself is unchanged: fold the panel down after turning the two white fasteners inside the glove box to the left; the card and a fuse puller are clipped to the back of it.

Positions 1 to 15 are the leftmost stretch of the single 45-fuse row, read left to right with the moulded numbers underneath. Two pockets above positions 8 to 12 store spares. Position 8 is empty on the facelift card.

Middle stretch (16 to 30) of the fuse row behind the glove compartment on a model-year 2001 car (built September 2000 to August 2001). The facelift card 6 907 364 assigns 22 to the fuel pump relay (25 A) on the new M54 six-cylinder and 530d engines, 23 to the rear centre armrest controls and 28 to the diesel transmission control; the auxiliary fan now has only fuse 75 on the relay carrier.

Numbers run from 16 on the left to 30 on the right, moulded into the lip below the fuses; the two flat sockets above 27 to 30 are spare pockets. The panel folds down after the two white quick-release fasteners inside the glove box are turned to the left.

Positions 31 to 45, the right end of the glove-compartment fuse row of a 2001 5 Series after the facelift. Card 6 907 364 rates 32 at 25 A (active seat, seat heating, roller sun blind) and adds a 5 A fuse at 35 for the rear air-conditioning blower; 33 and 36 stay empty.

Read left to right from 31 to 45, the moulded number under each fuse; the three flat pockets above positions 33 to 41 hold spare fuses only. Access: open the glove box, turn the two white quick-release fasteners to the left and lower the panel.
