AC relay unit location. There is no such thing as "AC condenser relay." Here is a description of an BMW IHKA HVAC for E70. Your Milage May Vary X5 F15 (2014 The solenoid attached to the top of the starter can fail, as well as the components inside. Replace starter solenoid, starter contacts, starter assembly or repair starter circuit as required. The 2005 BMW X5 engine cranks over but won’t start: There are many possible causes, but we know it is neither a battery nor a starter problem.
In this video our car is the 04 plate BMW X5 and we are going to locate the OBD, fuses and relays and there's a diagram
only starts when it wants to. get a click to starter when turn key, dash lights all come on but wont start. usually have to turn key about 4-10 times to get it to start but sometimes needed a jump but now it wouldn't even jump a few weeks ago, I sat for 45 minutes then turned key again and started right up, cant be something over heating because sometimes it wont start in the mornings either
BMW X3 models have a sophisticated electronic control system. At the heart of the system are computers (control modules) used to make decision based on sensor and user inputs. The engine control module (DME) and transmission control module (TCM) work in conjunction to provide the best driving experience.

Here's what I've done so far: 1-Check all the fuses on the face of the front fuse panel behind the glove box as well as the fuses that are in the electronics box where the DME is located. 2-Check the 2 large fuses (250a & 50a or 80a) in the rear near the battery (fuses 106 & 109 i believe) 3-I replaced all the relays in the car. Nowhere can I find the relay which supposedly is a light green plug with markings ++0452 / 52c. Not able to find a diagram either which shows the exact location for the plug for my model and how to access it. Hoping to first check if this $20 plug is the fault, before having car towed to BMW for what will most likely be a $2-3k repair.
