1987 bmw e30 325i cabriolet Fuse 9 keeps blowing

“Hey mate, i am in need for your expert advice. I drive a 1987 bmw e30 325i cabriolet. The other day out of no where i realize that suddenly my car heater, main headlight beam, obc computer & reverse light stopped working and smoke started to come out from under the glove box. When i opened the bonnet, i see that a fuse (fuse no 9) has melted. i tried replacing the fuse by everytime it blows. Now even my stereo’s playing with me, it come on and off, on and off and its continuous. I tried opening the glove box and stereo to see if there are any burned wires or loose connections but everything seems fine. PLEASE HELP MATE.”

Well, something made that smoke unless you’ve got mice with cigarettes hiding in there. So,since you know the number nine fuse keeps blowing, start there. Many guys will just install a jumper wire in place of the fuse for a few seconds. Then see what is getting hot, or is smoking in the glove box. It’s obvious you already have a problem there, so it’s not like you’re going to wreck something that’s not already damaged. Just bypass the fuse for a few seconds to see what’s getting hot or is starting to melt and smoke. Mechanics like myself have special electronic equipment to pulse electricity through a circuit, but I doubt you’ll want to invest that kind of money and the years of experience it takes to use it correctly. Just realize that BMW electronic parts are normally VERY expensive, and if the broken part is something you really don’t need, you can always just bypass that system by disconnecting it permanently. You just need to discover what part it is First. Good Luck,
