Any one knows if the Aux Fan in X5 runs off resistors or runs off the some kind pulses from the control unit? I have read in various places that there are two kinds of operating options for this fan... maybe more... That fan is not kicking on when the temp is reading 119degrees Celcius in my car. 119 is waaay too much for the cooling system... and that fan by all the means should kick in and it does not...

Where is the fuse for that thing? Glove compartment? is it that 50 A (!) fuse? that is a lot of amps!
