While installing an Apple CarPlay module, I shorted the hot lead to my DSP amplifier (which thankfully was unplugged at the time). I've read that BMWs have a "rear fuse block" which, among other things, contains the fuse(s) for the OEM amplifier. I've searched, but haven't found it. Does anyone know where the rear fuse block is located and what it looks like?
Using a VOM, I traced the problem to the power distribution box on the right side of the battery well. Doing some checking, there are internal fuses for each of the connections. Is it possible to replace these fuses, and if so how, or does the entire power distribution box have to be replaced?
Hello, I pulled one of the wires from the batteries main buss on that distribution box, the fuse was in the buss bar. That is also where the fuse that drives the top motors live. Note the wires from the salmon colored relays start at that buss bar. My wires are red in color.
Thanks, I'll give that a try.
Hello, How did you make out with that bus bar? Were you able to change the fuse? Did that fix the issue?
Had to buy an entire new bus bar - no option to just replace the fuse.
