HVAC control panel not working

[timchump]

Hi all

In desperate need of some help, installed a mr12volt onto my 135i
All is working ok except the climate control panel, which is completely dead.
There is a connector under the glove box that I’ve spent hours probably days trying to find where it plugs into but I’m at a complete loss

Any thoughts much appreciated

Try checking the fuse box. I was messing around in the center console and some how blew the fuse for the HVAC controls. Freaked me out as the entire panel/module was dead. The stupid fuse diagram was no help as the symbols made no sense as to what the function is. Through process of elimination, I found fuse 75 to be the one for my HVAC controls and it's a 5A fuse. The fuse was blown and replacing it brought the panel back to life.

Thanks ive been informed on another forum that the wire in my first post has nothing to do with the HVAC not working, so i'm guessing i may have blown a fuse like you

How do you get the fuses out of the board without causing any damage? they seem tightly packed

There's a fuse puller tool that is in the fuse box. It's white in color. It looks similar to this:
