Interesting.
"Slots not used by Maserati" means it's an off-the-shelf mirror. Any idea from where?

Probably made by :
Ningbo Jingcheng Car Industry Co., Ltd.(JC) specializes in R&D, manufacturing and sales of various electric rear-view mirror actuators, power folders and mini DC motors.

but no guarantee...and maybe you have to buy them over there by the container...
The looks of the actuator in the Maserati correspond to the type JCDES 22168
from the a/m cy

My Quattroporte mirrors (both of them) have stopped going up/down and only go left/right on glass movement. Folding aspect of mirrors where they retract themselves in when parking working OK.
Any ideas why up/down not working on BOTH mirrors?

Your switch is broken (assuming you have one joystick for both mirrors) would be the obvious answer....

Well, it would be surprising if the up/down actuator motors (or their position potentiometers) on both mirrors would be broken down
at the same time. It could be :
a) a broken down knob controlling the mirrors (the thing itself always gives a flimsy feeling, like a worn out gearbox levier..)
b) a bad or broken contact in the wiring between this knob and the Control Unit taking care of the mirror positions, assuming this knob
has, besides its other functions (normal=up, left mirror control, right mirror control and mirrors retracted) 6 wires going to
the Control Unit : common updown line-up line-down line-common leftright line-left line-right line ; the lines in BOLD
might have a problem
c) a broken down Control Unit (something wrong with the output "common updown" towards the knob or with the inputs
"up" and "down") from the knob
d) a fuse, but that would probably block a complete mirror operation on one side, and not create the problem you have.
Get a good car-electrician or electronician have a look at the knob and see if he can sort out the 6 wires and bypass
the internal up or down contact in the knob, setting the knob beforehand to e.g. "right hand mirror adjustment" and
check if the mirror now moves up or down
I would go for a replacement of the knob (try Eurospares or E-bay)
