Lost fuse diagram, cigarette lighters not working. - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

billgates_pimp · 07-09-2008, 11:40 PM

I got back from vacation and my mother decided to take joy rides on my car while i was out, i noticed a penny inside the front cigarette lighter, i removed it and now neither of the cigarette lighters would work, i looked thru the fuse diagram but couldn't figure it out, now i can't even find the damn paper, can anybody scan and post an image of the diagram?

Get it fixed by the dealer. Make her pay for it.

On a more serious note, I dunno what you should do.

In my car (2006 e90 325xi), it is fuse location 30. You can buy three of these fuses for about $1-2 at Radio Shack. It's probably the same location in your car (2006 e90 325)

Let me know how it goes, Josh

Just go to the dealership and play dumb, they'll change it. On another note, you should quit smoking.

samwoo2go · 07-10-2008, 03:32 PM

maybe your mom is telling you to quit smoking

Thank you for your options guys, btw i don't smoke,I use the cigarette lighters to power up my radar detector,gps, ac/dc convertor, laptop, fridge & microwave( I am jocking about the last 2), josh thanks for telling me the number of the fuse but once again I lost the paper with the diagram so I don't know where fuse #30 is, I am trying to figure it how to get the diagram, I was hoping someone here could scan it and post or email to me, my email is hdcepeda@aol.com, I appreciate your help guys.

Someone else took a picture of the fuse card some time ago. I thought I save it for future reference. Hope this helps.

billgates_pimp · 07-11-2008, 09:36 PM

I was able to print out the diagram, but i purchased a fuse tester and the fuse on location 30 is working, I also checked with a co worker that has an older model m3 and on his the fuse is a 20 and in mine is only a 5(amperage), funny thing is in the diagram it says that the fuse is a 30 but the one in location 30 is a 5, the lighter is still not working.

voltron1011 · 07-16-2008, 06:59 PM

location 30 on mine was a 20a fuse.

bb2048 · 02-01-2012, 06:16 PM

Do you guys know what fuse will be for the steering wheels buttons for an 06 330xi? My steering wheel buttons aren't working, both sides. The horn works but not the buttons. Please let me know.

This thread is over 3 yrs old. But from what I undertand, if the steering wheel controls stop working it is usually an issue with programming. The controls need to be coded. Remeember reading about this problem previously on the forum.

bb2048 · 02-01-2012, 10:07 PM

They reprogrammed the car about 1 month ago. Could that be what the problem is?
