Well trodden ground but help re battery reset

[Bollinger911]

Ive searched and can see previous threads re this but Im just wondering if someone can shed new light.

Just bought a second V8 and its an 05 which is older than my other one.

So I find battery disable button in boot and like a fool press it to see what it does!

So Im now getting a "check battery disable" warning on dash and it will not start.

I have found hole behind drivers seat but I swear there is no button in there. My man who does my astons said if there is no button just turning ignition on should fix everything but no joy.

Anyone help please?

Thank you

I had this one recently, I sat in the drivers seat with arm wrapped around the seat back and finger into the hole, I couldnt feel an actual button but I could feel something springy in there, then with the ignition on I held my finger pressed while I put my foot on the clutch and started the car.

So you need both arms and one foot, but it did the trick.

Did the above work for you?

Yes thank you very much. What a process. The other thing I have discovered having disconnected the battery to try and clear before I got your message was that 05 cars seem to be held together with cable ties!!

Thanks Pal!

Glad to help, I did exactly the same thing last month while poking around in the boot, and being a 6 footer my seat is set with only about an inch of space to play with when trying to find that damned button, and of course the electric seat is dead at that point!!

Luckily I've got skinny wrists and long arms so was somehow able to adopt the contorted position in the drivers seat and reach everything, note to myself for future not to mess around in the boot pressing things to see what they do!!
