Firstly, i apologise if theres alot of posts about the V35 fuse box that i did not see in this forum, i ask my friend.. -> the search button and gave me 1 thread back in 2007. so i thought of re posting something about the fuse box again, as i need help at the same time from who ever is reading this...also hope this helps someone sometime later aswell incase you want to fiddle around with your car.

okay so i tried changing my exterior and interior bulbs to white xenon Leds (white/blue dials will be a long term goal down the track..well see) as i wanted a white lighting output with my black coupe.... i was doing the last bits which is my step lights.. and i sort of did something because the power sort of died as the led bulb was just flickering on me..(like its struggling to find more power) so i thought i short circuited the lines for my step light or the lines melted on the way. So i figured ill have a look at the fuse box if i blew any circuits or anything look weird on the wires.. i havent opened the fuse box on my car since i got it.. and when i did... i got this...

It was on JAP!!! Lol so i didnt really know wher to start..... so im asking if anyone has the actual English version of this.

incase you dont know.. V35 has 3 fuse box on them..

1. Driver side near your right knee.. im pretty sure would be teh same with MT, could be on the left.

The 2nd black fuse box you can easily locate this in front of your battery .. and the 3rd is a little harder.. you might have to take out your battery for this..incase something happens... i havent done this personally but i have seen someone do it..

so i guess what im asking for if someone knows or has the english version of these diagram please and share to the community... or if easier.. does anyone know wher the door step light circuit board located? 1st 2nd or 3rd..? thanks for being patient with me in advance.. i could try open and check all the circuit board pieces which would probably take me couple of hours but i thought to ask first before something unexpected happens. Hope someone can give me a hand here somehow, my service provider would probably charge me $$$ with something i could of tried and fixed.. anwyay, if anyone need any help when it comes to any lighting let me know i can try and give someone a hand...

Thanks Guys n Gals. Peace.

You're best bet for an english version would be to look up on an American site.

But, when i did my Xenons, the fuses related to headlights where the ones behind the battery :-)

So in all honesty i would start there. It's a 15 sec job to get the battery out, and if i remember correctly these fuses are labelled in English(or have pics) cause i know i changed a few fuses.

Cheers

Bobby

cheers man,..bro thats what i wanted to hear last! lol having it behind the battery....im not sure how easy your one is..but mine is like pretty much bolted lol.. nah not really bolted..just quite secure. ok ill give G35driver.com a go and see how they respond to me.. anyway cheers bobby ill let you know if i cant get it sorted... ill try tonight as i am here at work. anyway thanks again mate.

oh do you remember if all the lights circuit board are on the 3rd fuse box?

No Worries,

Yeah almost positive that all the fuses for lights are in that box behind the battery.

I might have a pic at home of the cover of the 3rd fuse box with shows what's it in it.

I remember taking one incase i ever needed to change a fuse, i would know what's in it without taking the battery out.

I might have deleted it though after i sold the V35.

I'll check when i get home.

whilst you are at it grab the appropriate service manual off the net for it. the sub panel behind the battery is in english. the fuse you killed is in there alaong with the main lighting.

Thanks Chris! will do.. thanks again for the tips. i have the manual for the G35 Coupe.. im not sure if thats the correct one that youre reffering to.. it doesnt really say anything about the 3rd fuse box behind the battery to lead me unto something.. but anyway i appreciate your help. ill just try get the english version of the 1st box.

you may know this already but just in case you don't, the manual says you need to lower your windows before disconnecting the batteries. something to do with the way the windows are sealed up when closing the door (as it drops down a bit when you open the door - for the coupe). goodluck and let us know how you go.

cheers.

To reach the 3rd fuse box behind the battery, you don't need to take out the whole battery. Just pop the pin of the plastic cover for the left wiper blade off and you will see the whole fuse assembly. I believe it's only 3 pins. I did found it out the tough way as my HID fuse blown, and When I was putting everything back, I found Nissan Engineers did a good job hidding them and the ease of accessing them too.

I'm having the same issue... all interior lights are out.

Checked FUSEs everywhere, all seem to be OK.

Was hoping to find a dead FUSE in the FUSEBOX behind the battery but apparently there's nothing related to interior lights...

FUSE BOX Behind Battery:

10A A/T CONT 15A IGN CONT&ECCS

15A FR FOG 15A H/L LO-RH

15A DEICER 15A H/L LO-LH

20A FR WIP 10A H/L HI-LH

10A TAIL LAMP 10A H/L HI-RH

15A THROTTLE MTR 10A WASH MTR

20A RR DEF 10A ABS CONT

20A RR DEF 10A ENG CONT

10A AIR CON 10A SPARE

10A ECU IGN

15A FUEL PUMP

Suspect the faulty BCM (Body Control Module)... has anyone had any experience in fixing the damn thing ?

Is it possible to fix it at all, what are your thoughts on that ?

Regards,

Tom.

need someones opinion or help.

today my interior lights werent working so pretty standard i saw a blown up fuse.. i know the fuse last to the right, top and bottom are spare ones.. unfortunately i didnt have any... if you can refer the fuse chart on the top of this page.. the ones that doesnt have any writing on it does that mean it doesnt cater for anything or is it spare? i kinda took a piece from the blank ones and replaced it.. everything is working fine again... the only thing that was different was my fog light is now in sequence with my normal headlights! even in auto mode, in other words i cant use the normal headlights without the fog lights turning on while i can turn the fog light on and off when the headlights are not on.... is it because of what i did?...........

also the sensor on the doors seems like its causing me a grief... makes my window go up and down for like 3 seconds when the door is open.. i notce also that the key light is going on and off with it...and my door step light is farked... any ideas??? when i tried screwing or unscrewing the sensor its picking up a signal so i thought it was grounded with the whole thing.. i just found it relatively so sensitive..

When i opened it.. it only has 1 wire. is this normal??

any advise would really help..

i havent tried puting the original fuse back to the original slot as i ran out of time.. but i figured it doesnt make sense why it would be in sequence if a fuse was missing on that link...

anyway thanks guys.

ok i kinda got tha issue fixed... now the problem... not sure if a fuse has something got to do with this...

my signal lights are working outside.. but i cannot see the green arrow flashing on my dash...

does anyone know how to tackle this?

I thought it best to continue this thread as it relates to fuses. is there a trick to getting to the fuses in the kick panel on the drivers side. From the above comments there is a 3rd fuse area in the car. My dash lights are gone as well as my climate controls (air con and heater) which are stuck on whatever the last setting was . All i did was press the ppower button to listen to a cd and it froze with dash lights out. everything else still works.

fuse you are after is in teh kick panel.

there are 3 panels. battery area has two and the kick panel is the 3rd.

now if you have lost only the radio and AC controls that is a different matter.

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
