Fuse Replacement
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
On the vehicle are mainly used with mini-and maxi-fuses with blade engagement.
Besides these, there are other types of fuse provided with holes for fixing 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 centre.
The colour identifies the value of the fuses in amperes which is also reported on them.
The table shows the match between the colour and amperage of mini and maxi fuses.

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 the Service Network.
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 centre, behind the battery, on the right-hand side of the boot compartment
- on the fuse and relay box located in a covered area, behind the glove compartment on the dashboard’s left side.
Integrated Power Module
- To access the module, it is necessary to lift the hood (see “Open and Close the Hood” in the section “Before Starting”).
- To access the fuses remove the module cover unhooking the lateral locks as shown in the picture.
The table points out the position as featured in the figure, and the type and function of the fuses included in the integrated power module.
CAUTION!
- After replacement, refit the protective cover of the module.

How to Replace Fuse in the Maserati Quattroporte 2018
- Find the fuse box
- In a Maserati Quattroporte, the fuse box is usually under the dashboard on the driver’s side. There may also be a fuse box under the hood, close to the battery.
- Switch off the car
- Before you try to change the fuse, make sure the car is turned off to avoid any electricity problems.
- Find the Blown Fuse
- Look at the owner’s manual’s fuse layout to find the fuse that needs to be changed. The picture should help you figure out which fuse goes with which electrical part.
- Take out the blown fuse
- Carefully grab the blown fuse with a fuse puller tool or a pair of needle-nose pliers and pull it straight out. Be careful not to damage the switch box or the parts around it.
- Insert the New Fuse
- Put in a new fuse with the same amperage number as the old one. This is important to keep the electricity from getting damaged. It needs to be pushed in.
- Make Sure It Fits Right
- Make sure the new fuse is firmly placed in the fuse box. It shouldn’t be too loose or not straight.
- Test the Electrical Component:
- Once the new fuse is in place, start the car and check the electrical part that is connected to the fuse to make sure it works right.
- Close the Fuse Box
- Once you’re sure everything is working right, safely close the fuse box cover.
- Get Rid of the Blown Fuse
- Get rid of the blown fuse the right way. If you don’t know how to do this, you can ask at your local car parts store how to safely get rid of it.
