Hi there, My brother and I are going to replace the blower motor and final unit resistor in his 2001 740i and just wanted to know what precautions to take with the passenger side airbag as that is my brothers only real and final concern. We will obviously disconnect the battery throughout, but...

Hello guys! I recently bought my first car. It's a 2012 BMW 535i GT Base. The thing only had 55k miles on it over 8 years. It's been 4 months now and it's been running great. I changed the cabin air filter, the engine oil filter, engine air filter and the engine oil. I took the car on its...

Hi BMW colleagues, My front AC quit on me and im sure its the AC Blower Motor assembly. I want to check the resistance on the resistor attached to the blower motor to discard the issue being the resistor vs the motor itself. What are the resistance readings in Ohms that I should be getting...

Whats going on guys, new to this here. Would appreciate any help. I have a 1992 325i, heater was working fine the night before and the next morning went to go and start the car up and turn the heater on and no air was coming out. Figured it was acting up, as I started driving you could feel the...

My air conditioner works for about 12 minutes and then mid drive, a weird noise starts to be heard, as if the air is obstructed. Sounds almost like an electric razor. Car has 161k miles. Perhaps a blower motor issue? Anyone else have this issue? Could it be something other than the blower motor...

Thx in advance. A few weeks back my AC started to quit on me and and only came on intermittently. A week ago it quit for good. I ordered a new BEHR blower from BavAuto and I replaced it today. Still no Air! I tried turning the air on full (to bypass the FSU). Still nothing What gives? Any...

Hey all, First post! I have a 2002 E39, and since I've had it, the aircon has never worked. It seems like the usual problem of the blower not blowing, but the usual fixes don't seem to help. The control panel seems to work fine, but I replaced it to see if that was causing the problem. I...

I recently replaced my compressor and my air conditioning was working perfectly for about a month and a half. Then one evening I noticed a strange sound coming from my dash area . It sounded like somebody was holding a playing card up against the squirrel cages of my blower motor. So I have...

I am a new owner of a 1993 BMW 740il. The symptoms I had when I first bought her was a very loud squirrel cage when run on max high for the fan setting. The blower would not work at all on any other setting other than the fan on max high. It was also giving off a faint dead mouse smell, could...

Hey guys first post here after selfishly abusing your amazing knowledge for years. My 1997 328i with 260,000 miles would not be on the road today if it weren't for all of the help from all of you. I really appreciate your problems :) So into my issue. I started having an intermittent blower...

I am in need of someone to replace a blower motor fan in a 2003 X5 3.0I. E53. I have the fan, but I am unwilling to pay BMX Dealer the ridiculous price to replace it. Anyone know someone in this area?

Hey all, I was reading a few posts here about blower motor replacements, but I have a question about my situation. I have as you see in the pics below the wire connecting to the blower motor resistor corroded and a prong on the resistor burnt. I was wondering if it would be ok to clean the...

Hey everybody I have an interesting problem with my 88 e30. My blower only works on high or full blast setting and i believe that is because the resister pack is kaput but the other day i went to turn on the defrost and a very loud noise occurred. It is equivalent to the noise of a pop can in a...

So at about 140k miles my blower stopped working completely, through research I decided to replace the blower motor resistor. I bought an aftermarket FSU from auto zone and put it in and it worked for a couple of says. Then the speed control stopped working and sometimes it wouldn't blow at...
