I ordered an Odyssey 94R agm battery and according to my tracking info it should arrive today. If it does I'll put it in right away. I'm sure that will cure the problem, at least for now. I need to check my current draw to see if I have a parasitic drain. I want to do that today but it's hard to...

Sounds like you're in the same boat as me and that's exactly why I never wasted my time going to the dealer. Our batteries are bad. As to why a manual start works vs a remote start I have a few guesses but can't say for sure.

Yes, I do get what you're saying and I don't disagree with you. My previous statement was more of a hint of how mad I am at them for previous issues. They might not have charged me for the labor in the end, however, because I know them and what they're like they probably would have tried...

Your dealer sounds much better than mine! Due to a previous issue I had I didn't even bother giving them a try on this one. My truck would've been up there all day, they would say the battery is fine and charge me 6-8 hours for labor. It's cheaper and certainly more convenient to buy a new...

Here's a similar thread though with remote start issues during the cold: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/remote-start-not-working-when-cold.27485/ My truck has been failing to remote start lately though it does start fine manually. My truck has started manually with voltage as low as...

Yes I absolutely will! I'm not totally convinced yet that was my issue but it's interesting info for sure. More info: got home from work today and attempted a remote start and it failed. Manually started ok. This time I let it warm up and took it for a little drive. Got back home and grabbed my...

I'm willing to bet that it will, at least for a time. All modern day vehicles will have some daily battery drain. Here's what I recently noticed (at least with my truck). If you start it at least once daily it seems to be ok, as others reported as well. For example, if you read my above posts...

Okay, good to know. My radio does turn off everytime I shut off the truck, at least it looks that way.

Thanks for sharing, this is exactly why I avoided my dealer with this issue (at least so far). Hard to fault them though since the battery does start the truck normally, even though the voltages are lower than they should be (in my case anyway). Sounds like they need to change some programming...

Yes it is crazy. Not just Ram's either this issue is mentioned on other Chrysler forums as well. Hard to believe I had a 2014 for 6 years on the original battery and never experienced one issue remote starting and I barely plugged that truck in.

I'm able to see some warnings related to remote start. My kid never fully closed the back door one day and it showed that on the display as the reason for not starting. Same if you left the hood up. You're right about the voltage though, no warning at all and what's even more annoying when using...

Update: Got home from work today and didn't bother trying a remote start. I measured my battery voltage instead before attempting anything and it showed 11.46 volts down from 11.66 volts in roughly 30 hours of just sitting there. I hopped inside and the truck started right away. This time there...

Ok, I just recently experienced some karma with my remote start after previously stating in this thread that I had no issues yet (go figure). I had a 2014 Ram 1500 sport for over 6 years and never experienced any issues whatsoever with the remote start. The truck was traded in with the original...

First off, welcome to the forum! Thanks for sharing your story and congratulations on the Rebel. I loved my 2014 but I have to say after owning the rebel now for roughly 8 months it's the perfect daily driver for me. The truck has the right amount of attitude without being over the top!

Well it's not cold related but ironic after my above comment. I kind of go back and forth between the keyfob and the android app for remote starting. I 100% use the app when I'm at work due to how far I have to park and normally use the fob more at home but this morning I used the app at home to...

This is good info, thanks for sharing it. I'll be keeping my eyes out for a uconnect update (though I won't hold my breath). I enabled the off-road pages several months ago with AlfaOBD on my truck but of course nothing showed.

That's interesting, thank you for the info.

Sorry I can't answer your question but I'm curious did the off-road pages come standard on your truck or did you enable them with AlfaOBD?

Gotta agree on the weak battery as well. I live in Northern Alberta and it gets pretty cold here. I don't have an issue remote starting in the cold whether I plug the truck in or not.

Nice! Looks stock!
