I am in need of a fuse diagram. The fuse block has several open slots.

I know this may sound ridiculous, but have you looked either in the manual or on both sides of the fuse box cover? Also you may get better answers if you post the actual year and model of the car.

I have checked my Chilton’s manual and the 3-series is missing from that publication, the fuse box cover is clear and does not indicate what the fuse assignements are. The car is a 1986 325 ES. Thanks for the tip.

Try here see what you find, it looks like they have several manuals.

The owners manual also lists the fuse locations and is available free at:

Another place to ask might be the forums on:  
[http://www.bimmerfest.com/](http://www.bimmerfest.com/)  
lots of knowledgeable BWM folks there.
