FSR(also known as hedgehog for its appearance) is your final stage resistor and is located behind the fan you are hearing.Its a known culprit for discharging your battery.It overheats and stays on ,even wheh the car has gone in sleep mode.Your car being a 2002 ,you will have the old design FSR with few thick spikes and Bmw has subsequently replaced with another part ,with more thin spikes,which is more efficient in dispersing heat.

I was just reading up on the FSU and I see that that could very well be my issue. It also seems the warmer out it is the more likely we are to have a dead battery in the car. Guess I'll find a place to order one from and spend some more quality time with the X5. Thanks again guys!!!
I assume this will work!! BMW E53 X5 M62 4.4L > Climate Control > ES#1832895 Blower Motor Resistor - 64116920365

Perfect! Thanks again! I just ordered one. I sure hope this brings my issue to an end. My wife is almost to the point of wanting to get rid of the X5 already. Says it's not reliable enough. I'll show her with a rejuvenated A/C fan lmao!!!

UPS showed up today with my new FSR! 2 hours later my wife calls me to say that the A/C doesn't work at all! So I sneak home from work and replace the FSR (25 minutes) and the A/C is working like it never has before! Now that I have done that I am keeping my fingers crossed the dead battery issue goes away as well. Thanks again for all your help!!
