My old 1st gen would start at -45* unplugged without question. I sounded horrible and I hated to do it but in an emergency, it was reliable. My 3rd gen will pull off -25 or -30* unplugged if the...

Interesting Stan. I see how that could accomplish what I was going for but I think the '03 and the '07 are different TIPMs though.

When it comes time to actually fix this issue, I'll just bypass the whole works including the headlight switch and TIPM. Complete stand alone harness for lights.
