    Default Inline Fuses Behind Radio & OBC

    I am in the process of cleaing up the wiring in my E24 and behind the Radio & OBC there are 3 wires that have inline fuses (all of which were empty LOL) most likely cause the radio was draining the battery from bad wiring which I am cleaing up.

    Anyone know what Amp fuses I should put in these? They're the old glass type. 2 of the wires go to the radio and the third is a mystery wire so far. Pretty thick wires too, about 12 gauge. I do not have the Bentley yet, and I can not find wiring diagrams.

    Thanks

    I'm confused. The fuses were empty?

    Ya there plastic fuse holders and all 3 of them had nothing in em. The radio was disconnected because it was draining the battery.

    I'd check mine, but they're probably different.

    I was gonna pull my radio again this weekend, so I will have a gander and let you know if I have anything similar. Sounds really odd though. Does it have the factory radio still?
