Do you have a DME error?

The scan will tell you that the fan is bad because it didn't receive the signal, but it is a false positive if the reason is no power to the fan. The DME will spin the fan at start up and and when the power is removed the fan will continue to spin. A DC motor when spinning becomes a generator when no power is provided. The DC power is the signal to the DME that the fan is good. If you don't have power at the fan connector but have power at the fuse box, you need to check the wiring from the fuse box to the fan.

Double check the fan connector so that wire is not broken or corroded near the connector pin. Then check the connector X10455 on fuse box. If a 6 mm2 wire was cut somewhere else it would likely be shorted to vehicle body and fuse burned.

I'm having the same issue :(

Hello, I am having the same issue on my 2005 X5 (3.0D - Australian Right hand drive).

The Aux fan does half a turn when the AC is turned on but then never re-engages. Unplugging the sensor on the A/C HOT line (as it's been suggested on a separate thread here), turned the AC off (can tell by drop in engine revs and that 'AC was just turned off but air still blowing' smell in the car), it did not make the AUX fan go full speed.

I have also tried to disconnect a lower coolant sensor (which did nothing to affect the AC)

All of the above was done when car was at proper running temp.

Daveking, see my thread below:


https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...continues.html


I think I had the exact same problem as you and I think Fuse F61 may not be the correct fuse. I found that the wiring diagrams at newtis and my bentley manual were both wrong.
