Need to replace the battery in a 14 Vanquish 2+0.
I accessed the battery compartment and additional panels will
need to be removed to pull the battery out.
What panels need to be removed, and how are they removed.

thanks

 

Well that was a chore. Took about an hour and a half or so, probably quicker if I had to do it again. My 15 V12 Vantage was way easier, that took 10 mins. These are the panels that will need to be removed in order to access the battery and remove it without doing any sort of damage to the interior or electrics. Panels were either velcro or screws. I wonder if this would of been easier if it was a 2+2....

 

thanks for the write up. How do you like the Vanquish? thinking in trading in my db9 for a Vanq.

 

I only remove the 2 parts on top left of your parts pic. The L shaped trim and metal surround don't need to be removed. The battery is held in place by that black U-shaped bracket at back of battery; remove the 2 bolts on that U-bracket and slide that bracket upwards, battery will then come out.

 

Hi, I have a 2014 Vanquish with a dead battery. Today I tried removing the seat cushion. It lifts up but I could not pull it out. I was afraid I would damage something by forcing it. Are there clips or screws in the back of the cushion?

Thanks,
Nick

 

Between the lower cushion and the backrest is a rectangular leather trim, pull it out..it’s velcro.
Remove the T30 holding the lower cushion, now you should be able to lift out the lower cushion.

 

Hi, thanks for quick response, appreciate the help!

 

What if anything required resetting or did you use a OBDII power source? I also thought the alarm might go off when you disconnected the battery?

 

Seats and windows can be reset by going through the calibration steps in your owners manual..you don't need a scantool for a battery replacement on the +13MY Vanquish.

The alarm will not sounds off unless you arm the vehicle and decide then to remove the battery. Nonetheless, don't lock the doors and you won't have any issues with the alarm activating.
