Well thanks all for the advice---I put a brand new battery in and still the same problem. The weather has gotten warmer and it will start above 50 degree's every time. Last weekend it drop into the 20's and it would not even get the dash to lights to come on . 2 days later, dash lights up and it started. Guess what temperature it was? 52 degrees. Craziest thing anyone has ever seen.

Great advice also. I will change out the battery as soon as the snow stops, lol. Really hope that works.

Thank you, will do. I just find it odd that the temperature makes a difference. Weird.

Nothing--no horn, no dash lights, when key is on, no headlights at all. You would think someone stole the battery, lol. Checked battery, full charge--even hold charge under a load.

My problem is that when the temperature dips under 50 degrees, my Coleman 550 acts like the battery is dead and no electrical activity at all. The battery is at full charge. It only has 15 hours on it and the same thing happened last winter. Above 50 degrees, starts every time. Very frustrating needless to say. Anyone else experience this problem. I bought it at Tractor supply and they are not a service center and don't know who works on them in the area.

Thanks for your hard work and determination to find the problem.

Question is--- Could a short like that be affected by temperature?
