Starting in Cold Weather (part II)
so I figure since it has been 15 below or more for a week, I will start the Beast go back inside let it warm up. Better for the car and better for me. Today I started it and pressed the lock button on the inside door panel and closed the door. When I tried to open with the key fob it was a no go. I went back in got the extra key and opened the door. then tonight the lights would not turn off when I clicked lock twice as I always do.........remote starter coming....

any ideas?

You will have to just use the valet or another key or spend some money and get a remote start unit.
