Bootlid not opening

[clorenzen]

My bootlid refuses to open when pressing the opener on the dashboard or using the release. Only when I use the key fob twice it pops up. Any ideas?

Thanks Rick - I will give that a try and report back.

Agree with the parcel shelf. It rattles to the point where I want to leave it the part in the garage. Otherwise my V12 Vantage is faultless so I guess the boot release will have to wait until it is du its service. But in proper Aston fashion it will probably mend itself before then only to reappear after the service.

Tried to look for the battery disconnect switch to reboot the system as my bootlid now opens randomly when I am just about to put it into first gear and drive away. Rather irritating when you are all strapped in a ready to go you hear the "pop" and the bootlid opens on its own. Anybody knows where the battery disconnect switch is located on the V12 Vantage (or the V8 Vantage for that matter) as I tried to look for it yesterday night but could not locate it. ?

Konrad - sadly that only applies to the db9 as i remember it as well from my first car. The V12 Vantage must have the disconnect switch somewhere else so I will have to keep looking.

Why haven't they put an index in the Manual.

Had the locking mechanism changed by HWM this morning while I waited. Great service and after an hour I was back on the road in a freshly washed car. Problem solved. Thx for all advice but sometimes it is hardware rather than software.
