Aston Martin Gearbox
Discussion
Good morning to you all
I have a slight problem with my 2005 DB 9 Volante 31000 Miles full service by main dealer
I went in to a car part on a Hill and touched the front skirt but didn’t thing anything and parked up
When I got back the was no power so looked at the Battery cut off preset it and started up
Put it in Reverse to get out of the car park It sort of Juddered back then really didn’t want to go in to drive but eventually did
Drove home in limp mode and stuck in 3 Gear
So every time you switch the ignition on it chucks out the battery isolator
Checked the Codes in both OBD Ports Engine all good
In body there are about 15 on the can lines but these clear and don’t come back till the ignition is switched off and the idolater tikes out again
Checked this several times and always the same
Every thing is working except the Gearbox buttons wont work
Removed the Front Belly pans to see if there is any thing that I damaged when I hit it But nothing
As the there was Rust around the ABS Pump motor I had it reconditioned
They Phoned me to say there wasn’t any thing wrong with it but I said carry on as there was Rust on the motor it came back and the car was just the same
I checked the Fuse box under the Bonnet and it looked OK
The one in the Boot had water ingress and a lot Green corrosion so replaced with a New one from Aston Bristol
Still the same
Checked the cabin fuse box and under the carpets it was soaking wet so also this was replased with a new one as it is sealed and could not check it and with the amount of damp that has been sting ther I went down this root and had all the information transferred
But still the same
I have Put the car in to neutral Manually But it corms up in D ?
As I cant see anything under the front of the car from the car park incident I am putting it down to a concurrence
This weekend I am going to check all the wiring under the car to see if a Mouse has been nibbling
the scanner I am using a Foxwell i53BT multi system with Aston Matin stand-alone 3 months old
any help would be Grate

Sounds to me your car is letting in alot of water, your boot is wet and the interior.
That water ingress has IMHO resulted in your electrical issues.
I would get the car inside, preferably a garage and firstly remove all carpets, let everything dry out and check all electrical modules and fuseboxes.
Then you need to find out where the water is coming in and stop it.
I think your looking at quite alot of work with your car, but once fixed if I were you don't drive it when wet or raining, plus never use a pressure washer to clean it!
