[Power Hungry]

Here's my assessment of the situation, and correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm going on the assumption that the programmer will reboot during remote start on the first startup of the day (after sitting overnight) or when leaving work (after sitting all day). The overnight scenario fits my logical thinking better and I'd say that's probably when it happens most often. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.

Reboots have generally occurred on startup after sitting overnight because the battery drains down enough to drop the voltage below 8-9 volts while cranking. The engine will still start but the programmer reboots. After this initial incident, there is no further issue the rest of the day because of the minimal amount of battery drain between starts.

I don't believe the issue is related to the remote start, but more of a coincidence that it happens because you use the remote start the same time every day versus when you do a key start.

In a nutshell though, the battery is most likely starting to fail. Historically, when the programmer reboots overnight or during cranking it is time for a new one. The one in our Expedition started this little display of temper about 20 day before the battery puked. New battery... No more problem. In fact, we've seen a number of threads where the poster had indicated their truck/battery was about 36 to 40 months old when they started seeing this problem, which ironically was how old our battery was when it died.

Hope this helps.
