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).

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.2021 Maserati Quattroporte-Fuses and Fuse Box-fig 2
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

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; 2021 Maserati Quattroporte-Fuses and Fuse Box-fig 3
  • inside the rear power distribution center, behind the battery, on the right-hand side of the boot compartment; 2021 Maserati Quattroporte-Fuses and Fuse Box-fig 4
  • 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.
