Comfort Access Fuse Location?

[bdcanetti]

Can someone please tell me which fuse is the comfort access fuse. I have tried online searches. There is nothing in the owners manual and the legend card in the rear fuse box only has symbols and no way in hell can I decipher that cryptic crap.

I have a inoperable drivers door handle and from what I have been reading that can cause my High Battery Drain issue or warning I get whenever I start the car. I want to narrow it down by pulling the fuse and see if the battery drain goes away before I disconnect that handle.

2007 X5 4.8 Sport

Thanks!!

Found it. A coworkers brother in law is a BMW service tech and looked it up for me.

Fuse #132 7.5 amps.

Figured I would post my find for the next guy.

The hieroglyphic chart BMW provides is not much help. I believe the "door lock" symbol has 7 or 8 different fuses.

Exactly! Modern car, and BMW even more so, is a very complex device with many subsytems. You cannot look at each subsytem separately anymore like it used to be even with the cars of the not so distant past. Just as an example, if your transmission goes in limp mode (3rd gear only) that is merely a transmission problem. The door handle is not directly connected to the CA module, so who knows where the problem is.
