Convertible top/instrument cluster
Discussion
I have a 2011 V8 Vantage S Roadster. Was having convertible top issues...movement pause/failure, the the instrument cluster going off and on intermittently and several warnings coming up...air bag, tire pressure, emission system. All typical signs of a roof module failure. Replaced the module with a new one (not something from ebay) and had it programmed by a not-too-helpful Aston dealer. Now I'm seeing: instrument cluster dark on start-up but lights up after about 30 seconds to a minute. Roof movement pauses 3 or 4 times during open/close procedure. Air bag, tire pressure, etc warnings on the instrument cluster. The car starts and runs fine and the battery was replaced 18 months ago and stays on a CTEK when not being driven. Car is garage kept. Can anyone tell me what to check next and how to narrow this down? Terribly frustrating.
It's frustrating. Seems to me it's a bad ground or pinched wire somewhere, but that's a total guess. Could be the battery, though it doesn't seem likely. I don't know where to go from here and hope someone can help. Everything I've read says to replace the CRM, have it programmed and you're good. Not in my case. If I figure it out I'll post and update. Would appreciate if you do the same.
