The BMW 5-Series E60 and E61 were manufactured between 2003 and 2010, and they were the fifth generation of the BMW 5-Series. This luxury car has a distinctive design and is packed with advanced features, making it a favorite among car enthusiasts. The BMW 5-Series E60 and E61 are equipped with various electrical components such as the fuse box and relays, which play a crucial role in the car’s electrical system.

In this article, we will take a closer look at the BMW 5-Series E60 and E61 and its electrical components. We will discuss the fuse box and relay diagrams, their locations, and their functions. Understanding the electrical system of your BMW 5-Series E60 and E61 can help you maintain your car’s performance and troubleshoot any electrical problems that may arise.

Fuse Box

The fuse box is an essential component of the BMW 5-Series E60 and E61’s electrical system. It contains fuses that protect the car’s electrical components from damage caused by an electrical surge or a short circuit. The fuse box is located in the glove compartment on the passenger side of the car.

The BMW 5-Series E60 and E61’s fuse box contains several fuses that serve various electrical components such as the audio system, air conditioning, and the car’s lighting system. Each fuse is labeled with its amperage rating and its function. It’s essential to refer to the fuse box diagram when replacing a fuse to ensure you use the correct amperage rating.

Relay

Relays are another critical component of the BMW 5-Series E60 and E61’s electrical system. They are electromagnetic switches that help control various electrical components in the car. Relays operate by using a small current to control a larger current, making them ideal for controlling high-power components.

The BMW 5-Series E60 and E61’s relays are located in the fuse box in the glove compartment. The relays serve various electrical components such as the cooling fan, fuel pump, and the car’s headlights. Each relay is labeled with its function and is designed to work with a specific electrical component.

WARNING

  • Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating.
  • A fuse with a too-high amperage could damage the electrical part and cause a fire.
  • On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause a fire.
  • If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and fixed.
