I do wish you luck. Based on the information you provided so far in this thread you're in a similar boat as me and I doubt it's your battery. It only took one day for my new battery to do the same thing.

Thanks or the link. I'm now convinced that F38 fuse has nothing to do with the transfer case. The question still remains though, what exactly is it for? I might never find out! Welcome to the forum and to the unfortunate remote start issues club. From all the info we've gathered so far it seems...

Just curious where did you get the transfer case diagrams? That's good to know though cause as of right now it was just an assumption that this cooling valve was for the transfer case when it could be for anything else on the drivetrain. Who knows maybe the actual module (DTCM) wouldn't sleep...

My Rebel doesn't have 4wd Auto option I'm pretty sure it's the 44-45 transfer case. I agree with your assessment. All of that was based on the assumption regarding F38 fuse and what it's actually referring to. There's like no information out there on it. This morning it was -18 deg celcius. I'm...

Here's a link to another thread with lots of info related to remote start issues: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/remote-start-not-working-when-cold.27485/page-5#post-406417 I live in Northern Alberta. This is my first winter with this truck and I never had any issues remote starting...

Good luck to you, I hope they can resolve the issue. Just an update on mine, I let my truck sit all yesterday and it remote started fine this morning. Probably was sitting for somewhere between 30-40 hours total. I explained my issue to a mechanic friend of mine, he's a GM mechanic so not that...

It's an odd issue that's for sure. I never experienced any problems today the truck remote started just fine. I ran my errands and when I came home I popped the hood and locked the truck. Came back over 2 hours later with my meter, left the keyfob in the house so I wouldn't accidentally wake...

I waited a little over 2 hours and checked and the battery was 12.62 volts and no parasitic draw this time. The drain has been happening a lot lately so I expect it to return...fingers crossed that it doesn't.

Okay so I just went out and ran a few errands. The truck remote started no problem today. Temperature is much warmer than it had been recently (-16 degrees celcius). When I got home I popped the hood and locked the truck. I'll let it sit for 2 hours and leave the keyfob inside so I don't wake...

Thank you and yes I'm aware of the normal criteria from preventing the remote start from working. I have verified all them are good on my end. The amount of time I let the truck sit probably varied from as little as 5 minutes to maybe 30 minutes. What I did yesterday when I parked the truck was...

Hey guys, as the title states I'm hoping someone out there can provide some information on the following issue I've been having. There's a few threads on people having issues with remote starting in the cold and I'm among them. When this first started happening I was checking my battery voltage...

Yeah that would make sense also. I just had a look with AlfaOBD under the DTCM and everything under there is related to the transfer case. I'm not sure if the transfer case needs any type of temperature control. However, as soon as I seen transfer case it got me thinking as the last few weeks I...

Well thank you all for your input. I too was hoping it was the battery and it sure was looking that way for a bit. Too all those whose dealer says their battery checked out fine their probably right in that regard but I'm willing to bet the affected people probably also have some sort of...

Okay I just did another few checks. This time checking for a parasitic draw I actually got something: between 1.5-1.6 amps. I pulled fuses one at a time until I found the culprit. It was F38 highlighted below. As soon as I pulled this fuse my amperage dropped from over 1.5 amps to 20mA. Anyone...

Well I just tried a remote start after I read your message. Failed! With both the app and keyfob. It started manually just fine once again. I'm really tired of this. The next gen Tundra can't come soon enough!

It was -23 degrees celcius this morning which is much warmer than it has been lately!

Yeah man our issues are a little odd and frustrating for sure. We know our remote starters work, we (or at least some of us) can manually start the truck ok when it fails to remote start even with lower battery voltage. I tested my battery draw when the truck was sitting and was getting around...

It was a 2014 ram 1500 sport 5.7L hemi. Those models are specific to Canada so I'm not sure if that's why or a less likely scenario the dealer installed it. Bought it brand new off the lot and the battery was one of several items I checked before I drove away. I can hunt through my old pics to...

I've used one Optima Red top before and it failed on me. That was on a Tundra that had electrical gremlins though! The general word is many moons ago Optima batteries were the best but their reputation went downhill years ago. Die Hard batteries (like the one you linked above) get great reviews...

Well, my Odyssey battery showed up and before installing it I measured the voltage from it as received and it was 12.9 volts. Before swapping the battery I measured my current draw with my clamp meter instead of going in series with my other meter (due to the temperature outside) and I got 50mA...
