Help required. I have pulled the car out the garage today and nearly all the lights on the dash are not working.
I have disconected the battery and reconnected but still the same.
Suspect the canbus is the problem, does anybody know if this can be reset/replaced with a non Maserati component.
If not how much to fix the problem.

I'm guessing you didn't have it on a CTEK if laid up for more than 2 weeks. If so, battery has probably died and CTEK cannot revive a dead battery.

The car started OK and drove in and out the garage, however the voltage was only just over 12volts when I put it on charge. I will disconect the battery and charge it up over night and try again in the morning. Thanks for your comments.

Checked fuses they are all OK. Battery is fine left it on charge all night 13.5 volts. Car starts and runs but still no warning lights on start up or gear position displayed. The rev counter is not working but oil pressure temp are working. Any more suggestions ?

Don't know but I'd imagine that could throw an error code - have you tried plugging in an OBDII reader?

I dont have a code reader, I may try and find the unit unplug it and hope it resets. If anyone has any part numbers that would be good. thanks again

Still out of sorts. No rev counter or speedo, car has defaulted to auto mode, and suspension not 100% any suggestions.

With battery off I'd start with checking and spraying contact cleaner on the plugs on the possible / likely components.

Make sure all connections are tight on the battery / battery area
Interface for the instruments and any other modules you can see while you're in there.
Remove plugs from instrument panel and check / clean.
Main ECU multiplug
Gearbox ECU multiplug as this relies on engine speed / speedo inputs
Might as well do ABS ECU plug as well.

Take it interior is dry, rodent attack unlikely and wasn't jump started?

After that it might be time to visit a specialist or start replacing parts.

Car Fixed. Big thanks to Marios from Autoshield Manchester and Geoff from Shiltech for advice. New Can Bus unit fitted behind the dash took about an hour. Thanks to
David Askew who supplied the part. The part was plug and play, work completed with power disconnected by myself.
