BMW E39 Final Stage Resistor replacement

- Is your ac/heater fan/blower not working? My blower fan would intermittently not blow at full power. The final stage resistor (FSR) could be the culprit. I replaced mine based on comments I read on the Bimmerfest forums and it fixed my fan.
And no, the temperature readout doesn't flash, that's an artifact from the video.

Thank you for posting this. Quick, easy fix that works wonders!
Glad it helped!
Thank you man I fix my car for 5 minutes, that was easy❤️🙏🏽
Great to hear!
Thanks for the Video. I saved a repair job at the shop!
Glad it worked! Mine's still working more than a year later.
Thank you for a great tutorial! 🙏🏼
You're so welcome! Thank you very much for watching!
My blower resistor worked, but it drew so much current that in cold weather and therefore full fan power, I had speed drops when braking and disengaging at traffic lights or intersections.
I almost dismantled the entire engine until I figured out that it was coming from this part.
Febi is trash
I buyed that Mahle for 43 bucks from Amazon.
And FYI there are 2 variations.
abs 33000 or abs 55000 Where the spines are triangular or square.
Be careful otherwise it won't fit.
I was going to replace mine this staurday. I ordered a resistor... but it was wrong.. for me it's an regulator.. .the resistor had a lot of more pins and did not have this "triangle" chape the regulator has. (including the older one).
I am hoping I can do a return and get a regulator instead... (:
Great video though!
I used a pair of pliers since the clips were stuck so hard and hurt my fingers 😂
Thank you ! good luck with your repairs!
Thanks, everything went well until this morning, the battery got drained out AGAIN... I have no clue what to do now and it's starting to irritate me more and more now... :(@@e39enthusiast14
Thank you. I fix my car for $30. So fast and so easy 👌
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
My heater is blowing very weak. Would this fix it?
Hi, it did for me. That was the problem I was having. I would turn the fan speed on high and it didn't blow much. Replacing the resistor solved the problem and the fan/blower has been working perfectly since then.
@@e39enthusiast14I will give it a try. Thank you😀👍🏻
@@Stian2001 Good luck ! Let me know if it works for you!
Hi. Do you know if it is possible to check whether the "hedgehog" is functional using a computer and INPA? I mean is not to disassemble it unnecessarily.
Hi, I don't know. I have read on the Bimmerfest forums that a couple of people were able to repair the old "hedgehog". I didn't attempt to repair mine, I just replaced it.
