Best Answer

Determine what caused it to blow, fix the fault that caused it to blow, replace the fuse.

Sometimes people replace the fuse first, but fuses rarely blow for no reason, and replacing the fuse without rectifying the fault can lead to additional damage.

What causes a 2006 BMW 325i door lock problem?

I had this problem with my car (the day after I bought it). There is a special fuse that they need to install in the fuse box that won't blow. The dealer should do it for you for free if you take it to them. In the meantime, you can change the fuse with the same amperage one that is there and they should work for a short time until they blow again. It gets to be a pain. If you change the fuse for a higher amperage fuse, the motor in the door lock will blow on one side.
