Hi all. Long time working on cars but first time posting here. I have recently installed a viper 4105v in a 2002 Toyota Sequoia. The remote starter works fine all day long but when it is allowed to sit for a day and I go to start in the cold morning hours when temperatures are below freezing it hangs up and never stops sending a cranking signal. I have connected the tach wire and taught it the tach signal. Same problem. I turned engine monitoring off and set crank time to 1.8 seconds. Fine when warm, (overcranks slightly) perfect when cool, but when temps drop below freezing same problem. I charged the battery overnight, disconnected and went to remote start when freezing, same problem. The battery voltage never drops below 10v when cranking. Halfway through my drive to work I pull over and it works fine. All my connections are soldered to the harness right by the ignition switch. I cut the crank signal wire, installed spades for test purposes and disconnected it while the endless crank was occouring and sure enough the module never stops sending the signal. I thought that the current draw of the starter solenoid was too much for the conductors, and the available voltage at the module was dropping to the point that it glitched. I ran the crank output to trigger a relay, the main feed straight from the battery with a 10 gauge wire 30 amp fuse. Same problem. I am thinking several things for next steps. 1) brand new battery 2) feed power to the remote start on a separate conductor and or use ignition outputs to trigger relays instead of using the remote start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1) New battery
2)Run thicker gauge wire from the battery
3)Ground to battery.

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.
