It's inside the compressor dome under the spare tire.

I checked there but i dont know what to look for. What does it look like and what is the precised location?


Thanks

You'll need to unscrew the dome from the bracket holding it down and unscrew the little screws along it's sides. That should uncover the compressor when you flip the dome. Look for an orange relay (orange most of the time and in some light green) It should be in the dome next to the compressor.

You might want to check the relay #6 which is the last relay in the luggage compartment:
RealOEM.com * BMW E53 X5 4.4i Relay positioning, luggage compartment

and check the last fuse in that compartment as well.

I dont notice any relay with 6 slots when i look inside the dome. I see a red plug with a wires leading to the two pumps on each side. Am i missing something?

Relay panel in the storage compartment on the side of the luggage area.

The relay and fuse compartment on the side of the storage has 5 slots not six. The relays look light green. But why are you saying look under the wheel for the relay. It's unclear to me. I have a x5 3.0.

6 slots actually. Air ride one is the one at the right hand side end.

Parts book shows a different relay in each location, one under the spare tire and one in the luggage compartment relay panel. You should be able to find both of them.

I still can't find the relay after looking inside the dome. I see the air compressor pump inside the dome but i cant tell what is the relay? Can someone please help me pinpoint the relay? With a picture of it or something?
