THANKS for the final stage resister DIY
 

Just want to say THANK YOU for this great write up on replacing the Final stage resistor, It is hot as hell in Atlanta and my Blower died :bawling: . Did some search and found the Final stage resistor DIY. got my part from the dealer today for $98. with this DIY I replace my FSR in 20 min, I did not have to remove the Glove Box which was a big time saver. Now my baby is blowing COLD again :bmw: :bmw: . Thank you

Here is the DIY http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/m...placement.html

Yep, there are some fantastic articles on xoutpost.com that have saved big bucks for a lot of folks.

Welcome to the FSR club :thumbup:

Glad it worked out. Good luck!

Nice job on the fix...there are many more helpful articles so don't forget to look.

Big props to X5world. :bmw:

Hey, I am having the same problem no air blowing from the blow motor. What mechanic did you find to replace the resistor, any referrals??????

Do it urself, really easy to do. just make sure to follow directions exactly and I would remove the glove box

Use this DIY and you will be fine, its pretty easy, I did it without removing the glove box, but it a pretty tight squeeze to reach the FSR.

Me Too!
 

I just replaced my FSR a few minutes ago. I removed the glove box though. I bought a new FSR off Ebay for $65 plus $7.50 for shipping. Thanks X5 World for the DIY! I love it.:thumbup:
