Remote starter isn't working lately. Been 35 degrees past month.

I also get into the car and have to turn the key 10-15 times before it starts. Just clicks... New starter or fuel pump/filter? OR is this a common problem in teh cold weather with the srt8's??

I would start with having the battery tested. There are jeeps in much colder area's that start and run fine. I had problems with my battery and had it replaced under warranty....

If it just clicks and is not turning over it has nothing to do with the fuel pump/filter.. If it was turning over and not starting that would possibly be the fuel pump. If it eventually starts without a jump or charge, I'd venture to say the starter solenoid* is sticking.. Then u keep trying and eventually it turns over. Next time it does it tap on the starter solenoid. I bet it starts right up

I had trouble starting the Srt yesterday in the morning. It clicked, clicked and clicked and then while turning the key, I pressed the gas and it started up. Last time I checked the srt's were efi, so wtf gives? Lol :confused:
