Hmmm... Real OEM doesn't recognize that part number. I wonder which fan is controlled by that 'fan cutout relay 9137'.

Maybe that fan does not 'cutout' (e.g. turn off) when it should which runs down the battery.

Perhaps others could post their repair ticket info so we could see if this is a commonly replaced part when X5's 'melt down'.

Sorry. I futzed the part number. Should be 61-36-7-661-503

The fan was probably not running at all since previous day the at idle temp produced a "drive moderately, engine hot" type warning.

I suspect that when the relay failed it shorted a circuit.
