See... I knew there was a reason I came here for help.

I'll report back my findings once it's apart.

Thank you :)

No problem! Good luck.

Peoples come here for advice on how to fix their X5, but stay for the friendship.

So as of lastnight I was able to get the fan working as intended. I know have working AC as well.
I do now (already) have to deal with what looks like a bad ABS module/pump as I have several corresponding codes from the DME, Trans, Cluster and T-case.
I wish I could post pics directly from my phone but I have taken pictures as I went through this and hopefully I'll get them posted up.

Thanks again for all the help guys.

Do not know which model of bmw

The pictures that Joshdub posted were correct for information.

The glove box didn't need to come out, just the pass side air bag.

There is the fuse panel behind/under the pass side air bag.
Sure enough the fuse was blown, turned out the ABS module was in fact bad as well so replaced it.

Heading to a friend's house in the am to see about getting the air ride coded out then changing a few things via coding.
Once that's all done I'll start digging into anything else I find.
Below is a picture of how I bought it 4 weeks ago. Today I drove it home.

Wow... nice. Sure you got a deal on it. Carry a salvage title now though?

Nice save!

Great progress!
