I have a 2004 dodge ram 2500 with a remote start and in the morning i push the button to start and the truck start's and run's for about 30 seconds and the shut's off and then about a min. latter it start's the truck second time and then about 30 later it shut's off, and then about a min. later it start's the truck for the third time and it run's for about 30 to 40 second's and then it shut's down. the place that i had work on the truck and get it working again[SIZE=+0] and they say'd that it was hooked[/SIZE]
to the tack and the hooked it up to sense the voltage jump that should happen after the truck has started and run for about 10 second's but the voltage jump does not happen for about 3 to 5 min. s
I found out that from looking on this web forme, that the computer limits the voltage to help the motor the worm up and settle down and smooth out.


is the a different place to hook it up and get to say running? as i say'd above it was hooked to the tack and it was trying to start the truck wyle the motor is running, so that is why they set it up to sense the voltage jump
:cool:
 
The voltage to the battery jumps immediately after startup but the factory gage wont reflect it until you hit 25-30 mph or until a certain time goes by (dont know what duration). They do this so you dont see the grid heaters pull down the voltage and ask the dealer questions he may or may not be able to answere.

Is it an aftermarket remote start? Maybe it doesn't like the grid heaters pulling the voltage down right after the eng starts. . ?

Had same problem last winter. The installers never quite figured out why, but it always seemed to coordinate with the heater grids cycling. The voltage drops, and a few seconds later, truck would shut down. In my case, it would also cause a check engine light, and my torque converter wouldn't lock up. Since I needed my truck for hauling, more than I needed remote start, they disconnected it. I need to go back and let them figure it out. Maybe this helps. .
 
Your installer needs to disable the High/low voltage threshold,also set the device for time 30/60 minutes whatever you like. Set the rpms at 500.
