Are there any AM technicians that hang out here that might help me figure out an air conditioning problem on my 2017 DB11?
Maybe there is a known fix... It works great a lot of the time, but there are the times it just stops cooling. The blower is still going and everything seems normal, except the air just isn't cold anymore. If I turn the Climate Control off for several seconds, then turn it back on, it will usually cool again.
My indy mechanic seems to be stumped. Even though it is an intermittent issue, he has witnessed it. There are no codes. The last thing he did was a "software update", which seemed to work for awhile, but the other day I had the same problem again.

Different car, so it might not be related, but I had the same symptoms with my DB9.
It turned out to be a break in the wiring inside the A/C compressor. It would work fine for a while, but when everything got hot (pavement, engine, compressor) it would stop blowing cold. Turn it off for a few minutes, turn it on again, and it would run for a bit.
My A/C guy was stumped until he let the car get fully up to operating temperature -- then he was able to measure (something?) that pointed the way to a proper diagnosis. Replaced the compressor and all was well ever after.
