Hi all,

My driver seat electrics stopped working a few weeks ago even though passenger side was working and then over last couple weeks due to Coronavirus
Not been using car. Result was flat battery, got good guys from RAC out who got going going again. However even after an hour driving to get
Battery charged. Had following problems;

1. All Electric windows don’t work
2. Driver seat electric not working but passenger side is.
3. Electric button to fold rear seat not working.

Car is 2010 AM Rapide with original battery. Any ideas

Real appreciate any insight before out it into the garage.

Unfortunately letting a battery go flat in an Aston does some weird things that need to be reset at the dealers, the battery went flat in my vantage and the windows stopped working.
Best advice is to get a battery charger and keep the car on trickle charge.
Aston sell one but it was just a ctek with an Aston badge not sure if that's still the case.

Had a similar problem after the battery went flat on my Vantage some years ago - reset at the dealers which was carried out FOC under warranty.

May be best to post in AM section on here?

If you look at the Aston section and the top of the page there is a Frequently Asked Questions Wiki. Has the procedure to reset the windows / seats. But you'll need a new battery anyway, so will need re-setting again
