Help Please

hi. i have a remote starter in my 03 ranger edge. and when i go to start the truck it goes to start then stops. it gives me 3 quick flashes which means no tac signal according to manuel. i checked the wire we have hooked to the coil pack for tac signal and i am getting contunity. i also replace the modeule with a new one and same issue. it was working for about a year and then died. my tac in the truck is working no problem. am i connecting to the wrong wire for tac signal. think it was tan/red in the 4 wires going into the coil.

this is the remote i have

http://www.autostart.ca/prostart/prod-en_CT-3300.php

is there any other spot i can get the tac signal from and what else could cause this issue. i really need to get this fixed soon. it's starting to get really cold here in newfoundland. please help

also when i first installed it it worked great for about 9 month's then became intermittent then stopped

it died about 6 month's ago. my power locks still work on it and i have tryed reprogramming it a few times with no avail. i have even installed a new modjule and same. where can i get the tac signal from on my truck. it's a 03 edge with 3.0 flex fuel. and pics/wiring diagrams will help to find a good spot to get tac signal from. thanks. i wonder could it be that the wire i ran to tac signal is corroded inside casing and not getting good enoung amperage even though i have continuity.
