I have a Maserati 3200GT and fuse 16 keeps blowing.

This stops my windows, indicators and a lot of warning lights come on. What’s the most likely reason?

This fuse blows because invariably the acceleration sensor for the suspension has gone faulty. The unit is located under the n/s headlamp and with a small amount of effort can be disconnected to confirm the fault. The simplest way to remove the unit is to remove the sidelight unit first and get access that way, there are two bolts 10mm spanner size, to remove then fiddle the unit out through engine bay. It can rattle which is a sure sign that the unit is faulty. By leaving it disconnected the suspension (red “error” light will be illuminated) is in a failed state, not recommended.
