Default Adrenaline Doesn't Like Cold?

This is kind of odd. it got real cold last night (-28 wind chill) so I went out and plugged my truck in for a couple hours so I could move my truck and finish clearing snow. Tried the first time and it was still pretty stiff so I shut the key off and all my start up lights stayed on abs,check engine airbag all that normally comes on when you first start. My fass pump ran and wait to start came and then off like normal. So I pulled the key went in for a while came back out and all the lights are still on . Tried the key again but no wait to start. Batteries are pretty much drained Throw a charger on and truck fired up and I moved it and let it run for a little while and went to shut it off and it wouldn't. So I unplugged the Adrenaline and it shut off. Now that everything is warmed up it works like normal. This could be a long winter. My batteries are only a year old.

Truck wouldn't shut down with the Adrenaline connected and once unplugged it would and all lights would go out and work as normal. Plugged back in and had the same problem until I brought the Adrenaline in to warm up. I don't know I confused too

If this controller control's that many aspects of your truck that would be enough to scare me right there. I like my Comp. AND MY SMARTY

Mine is doing the same. If I let my truck set for a few days my batteries are DEAD.

hmmm... would it hurt anythign to run the power to the quadzilla through a manual switch? like when you are done running it just switch it off? i know it kinda sucks because you expect things to work but for now it might

That comp and smarty might be the way to go in cold weather. Wanna sell it

I never had this problem last year. Trying to remember if I had the newer tunes loaded then

That might be an idea. I'm going to wait and see what happens tomorrow morning
