I think the easiest option is buy 4-pin CTEK Comfort Connect adapter lead, then plug your maintainer into the CTEK Comfort connector (or add a small CTEK?SAE adapter if your trickle charger is SAE 2-pin).

Have you tried

Used ones come up rarely, you could try refurbishing the ones you have.

Which model and year do you have

[Tony Jaskeran]

I’ve been using the CTEK MXS 5.0 for years and have two. No problems at all, I keep them on a timer for a few hours a day.

I also use the non croc connectors that attach  direct to the battery bolts permanently.

Keep an eye on the events page & look forward to meeting you at some point.

I am in Surrey & a Club Member at Brooklands so often in attendance if you ever attend any of the car events.

Hi Maurice,

Not going as have another engagement, 07973619499.

[Tony Jaskeran]

It’s not on the list of events at the moment so probably no for now.

[Tony Jaskeran]

Good luck Maurice,

If you are ever in London let me know, My office is in Mayfair & live in Kingston Upon Thames

[Tony Jaskeran]

The only other place I know of that might have one in stock are https://www.ferrariparts.co.uk/part/maserati/82487457?id=158889

Otherwise it’s the Alfa part if you need it soon.

[Tony Jaskeran]

Good luck Maurice & hope all goes well with the repair.

[Tony Jaskeran]

ok Maurice,

The Maserati part no.: 67294900 – LH door lock

Older Maserati / Fiat-group reference: 82487457

Those two numbers are essentially the same part – 82487457 is the earlier cross-ref that also appears as a Lancia Kappa Berlina left door lock.

Pull the passenger door card, remove the lock and read the casting label – it should show 67294900 or 82487457 somewhere.
Then you can buy either:

A used or new Maserati lock with 67294900; or
A Lancia/Fiat / aftermarket lock that explicitly lists OEM 82487457. These are often listed on eBay.

Hi, which side do you need.

These are Fiat/Alfa locks, so once we know which side I can suggest some part numbers.

Hi Paul,

Sorry I have been quite busy this last week.

You now need to narrow it down to just the external boot switch circuit: the switch itself, its wiring to the ECU, or how it’s being actuated.

Do the “paperclip test” at the boot switch plug. This is the quickest way to prove whether the switch is the culprit.

Unplug the boot switch. With ignition on, briefly bridge signal to ground at the connector with a bit of wire/paperclip.

If the boot pops open: The wiring from that connector back to the ECU is good.
The ECU is seeing the input.
The problem is almost certainly the switch assembly or how it’s being pressed.

Lets us know how you get on.
