2021 Maserati Quattroporte Fuses and Fuse Box | How to check and fix
The 2021 Maserati Quattroporte has a full electrical system that is protected by a network of fuses that are kept in a special fuse box. The placement of the fuse box is planned to protect different electrical parts of the car. A fuse breaks the circuit when an overload or short circuit happens, which is a very important part of keeping electricity safe. To find and fix problems that might be caused by fuses, start by reading the owner’s guidebook. It will tell you exactly where each fuse is located and what it does. Once the fuse has been found, check it by looking at the metal strip inside it. A broken or melted strip means the fuse has blown. If a fuse blows, it needs to be replaced with a new one that has the same amperage value. It’s important to take care of switch problems right away because they can stop important systems like lights, power windows, and other electrical parts from working. If your worries don’t go away or if multiple fuses keep blowing, you should get skilled help to find and fix the underlying electrical problems. The 2021 Maserati Quattroporte is more reliable and runs better when the fuse box is checked and maintained regularly.

If a Fuse Blows
Used Fuses Characteristics
When an electrical device is not functioning, check that the corresponding fuse is in proper working order (intact).
A Fuse intact
B Fuse blown
The vehicle mainly uses mini-and maxi fuses with blade engagement. Besides these, there are other types of fuses provided with holes for attaching to the cable connection terminals. For the replacement of these fuses contact the Service Network.
Replace the faulty fuse with a new one featuring the same rating, by using appropriate forceps added in the integrated power module and inside the cover of the rear power distribution center.
The color identifies the value of the fuses in amperes which is also reported on them. The table shows the match between the color and amperage of mini and maxi fuses.
Type | |
Mini Fuse | Maxi Fuse |
Beige – 5 | Yellow – 20 |
Brown – 7,5 | Green – 30 |
Red – 10 | Orange – 40 |
Blue – 15 | Red – 50 |
Yellow – 20 | Blue – 60 |
White – 25 | – |
Green – 30 | – |
CAUTION!
- Never replace a blown fuse with anything other than a new and suitable fuse (same rating).
- After replacing a fuse, if the fault recurs, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
Position of Fuses
The fuses are located in three parts of the vehicle, namely:
- inside the integrated power module, on the right-hand side of the engine compartment;
- inside the rear power distribution center, behind the battery, on the right-hand side of the boot compartment;
- on the fuse and relay box located in a covered area, under the dashboard’s left side.
Integrated Power Module
- To access the module it is necessary to lift the hood (see “Hood Operation” in the section “Before Starting”).
- To access the fuses remove the module cover unhooking the lateral locks as shown in the picture. To recognize the reference number of the fuses in the table below, see the diagram inside the cover just removed.
The table points out the position as featured in the cover, and the type and function of the fuses included in the integrated power module.
CAUTION!
- After replacement, refit the protective cover of the module.
- If you need to wash the engine compartment, do not direct the water for too long directly on the module.

FAQs
Fuses protect electrical components by breaking the circuit if there is an overcurrent.
The fuse box is typically located in the engine compartment or interior cabin.
Use the provided fuse box cover or panel to access the fuses. Some may be in the engine bay, while others are inside the cabin.
Most modern fuse boxes have a transparent cover, allowing you to visually inspect fuses without removing them.
A fuse puller or a pair of pliers can help remove fuses for inspection.
Look for a broken wire inside the fuse or a darkened appearance. Some fuses also have a built-in LED indicator.
The vehicle may use mini, standard, or micro fuses. Check the owner’s manual for specific details.
No, always replace fuses with the same amp rating to prevent damage to electrical components.
Some vehicles come with a fuse kit including spare fuses. Check the trunk or glove compartment.
Replace the blown fuse with a new one of the same amp rating. Identify the faulty circuit causing the issue.
Yes, internal faults in electrical components or a short circuit can cause fuses to blow without visible signs.
Start with the main fuses, then move to the individual components. Consult the owner’s manual for guidance.
Common issues include power window malfunctions, non-functional lights, or problems with the audio system.
It depends on the function of the blown fuse. Critical systems may affect drivability, so it’s best to address the issue promptly.
If the problem persists, consult a Maserati dealership or a qualified automotive technician for a thorough inspection and repair.
