I have a 2002 BMW X5 4.4, when I turn the car off, the blower motor stays on, indefinitely (this is not the 16 minute delayed cool-down fan), and the ac does not work, and the climate control panel is black. this is the blower located just behind the dash board, propels air for AC. Key is out of the ignition, and I hear the fan, but no air is coming out of the vents. A second symptom (same problem I believe), when the key is in ignition and the car is on, the climate control panel is black, dead, no life, and my AC/heater is not operational, with or without the car being on. I replaced the FSU (Final Stage Unit, aka: Final Stage Resistor, aka: the hedgehog) - that seems to be the common recommendation, but in the case of myself and two others, that does not fix the problem. I have heard someone say it's due to a "sticky relay", but I have yet to discover which and where a relay is that affects the blower (I removed every relay from the trunk (passenger side), and under the hood (also passenger side), and the blower continued to blow. For any of you having this problem and want to save your battery, the blower fuse can be pulled out (located inside the glovebox, fuse furthest right and down).
Those are my symptoms, I have seen two other people in the world of Bimmer forums with these same symptoms, and no answers as of yet. FSU doesn't fix it, and it doesn't seem to be a fuse issue (I checked both AC fuses in the glove box)...
Please Help!
Thank you.
