    Back Windows and air stopped working 2003 525i

    All of a sudden my back windows and air stopped working Im not sure which fuse could control this. Also my wimdow was left down and water got under passenger seat i dont know if that has anything to do with it. I am a woman trying to fix this by myself so any help is appreciated. The air conditioner lights work just no air coming out.

    Welcome to the Forum!

    So in MY-03 they had two different 5er Series, the older E-39 and the newer E-60. The electronic in both cars are very different, so it would help to know which one you have. If you don't know, you can post the last 7# of the vin here or you can put it in here: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select This is the part catalog, and will tell you the month/year as well as the which one it is.

    This is what I got for that car:

    E39 Sedan, 03/03 Automatic.

    So for the problem with the A/C fan stopping whenever, it will generally be this #3 part. That is what we call the Final Stage Resistor, or FSR, and it controls the fan.

    The fuses can be found in two places, in the glove box roof, there will be two white tabs that you will have to turn. And the second location will be in the trunk on the passenger side behind the cover. While this is for a Right hand drive, the video still should help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKW7vQYTwgA

    Have a look at Fuse 71, that controls the rear windows.

    Perhaps, as there are wires that do run under the seat. Most connectors in that car are water tight, but some on the inside will not be.

    Has the water been removed from the back seat floor board?

    Yes I vacuumed all the water up. But shortly after the air and windows stopped qorking simultaneously. Im going to check the fuse for the windows now. Just wondering if there is a fuse for the fan and which one it is.

    the main fan is working just not the one on the outside.

    It will be in the trunk. Follow this link, and you will need to scroll down a bit to see were it will be: https://fusesdiagram.com/bmw/fuses-a...bmw-5-e39.html
