Mitch1352 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Does my '00 R11RT use only BMW factory fuses, or can I get new ones at any auto parts store? Link to comment

notacop Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 So much for supporting your local dealer.... Link to comment
Mitch1352 Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Thanks much. After 53k, I guess it is time for a fuse to go. Link to comment
awagnon Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Thanks much. After 53k, I guess it is time for a fuse to go. Fuses shouldn't just "go" because of age. Look for a reason whenever you blow a fuse. The purpose of a fuse is to keep the smoke inside the wires where it belongs. Link to comment
Mitch1352 Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 I think that it may be my Gerbings heated stuff. I noticed a bit of a frayed wire to a glove yesterday. It is going to generate a call to the shop this AM. Link to comment
dan cata Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 That could happen due to bad connectors too Link to comment
NonComp Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 So much for supporting your local dealer.... For a fuse??? You must be kidding. Link to comment
Mitch1352 Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 I called the shop and the service mgr said any auto fuse is good...no need to drive all the way there for something as easy-to-find as a fuse. Also she suggested that the bad cable on the glove is the possible suspect. Link to comment
kmac Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 So much for supporting your local dealer.... SERIOUSLY? You are kidding right. Im gonna go 45-60 miles to purchase a $0.99 fuse when they have them on the corner 3 blocks away? If my dealer is gonna stay in business because of my 1 dollar purchase that probably has a 20 cent profit margin...they got bigger problems than my FUSE purchase....If i need a fuse and im there i will buy them there, but im not driving to the dealer for a stinking fuse. I doubt even our resident dealership owners/employees {paul M, tallman, justin} would even ask that extreme view from us owners. Link to comment
4wheeldog Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I doubt that they stock 'em anyway. Probably a 2 week wait for it to arrive from the fatherland. Link to comment
NonComp Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I doubt that they stock 'em anyway. Probably a 2 week wait for it to arrive from the fatherland. Two weeks from the N. American distribution point. Five-Six weeks from the Fatherland, especially if you happen to order during the month of August, when Europe shuts down for vacation (DAMHIK). Link to comment
kmac Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Don't forget Octoberfest as well...the whole country shuts down so Fuse production is behind schudule until February. Link to comment
