Good to hear it's been sorted out with new relay! 👍
Yes exactly. I'm still shocked they would overlook such a simple code during diagnosis. Flipside was a complete clutch job, so ........




Final Update - Have driven the car over 220 miles and the issue has not come back once. I think it's safe to say the issue has been resolved. Thank you to everyone who chimed in to help.
Hope this helps someone in the future resolve this issue with a 8$ fuse vs a $8000 clutch job @ Aston.

Hi all. I've just joined this forum specifically to thank all who contributed to this thread. Biiiiig thanks guys.
I was broken down yesterday in Cornwall, England with no gears, (exactly the same problem as above), It was just getting dark, freezing cold and misty/raining. No phone signal without pacing around like an idiot but eventually I found you guys, this post.
I swapped the relay, pulled all of my fuses to visually inspect and found a blown 30 amp. Called a friend who came out with fuses and hey presto, drove home faultlessly.
So, thanks again guys, a godsend.

I'm super happy to hear this thread helped someone stranded in a time of need. It has been over 3 years since this thread and my aston is running as strong as ever from this situation. No clutch job as of yet.
Cheers !
