2005 F150 Remote Start Tach Programming

Has anyone had any issues with remote start tach programming?
The Starter was working fine for years then.....
Getting four beeps when a start is attempted.
Tried to perform a re-learn tach as per the manual:
5 – Learn tachometer
With hood open or brake pedal pressed start engine. System will chirp horn
every five seconds if a valid tach signal is present.

Still Four chirps when start attempted

So, reset to factory settings,adjusted options as required, still 4 chirps.
Completed following as per manual:
Tach programming
A. Make sure that the hood is closed before proceeding.
B. Enter option learn mode as described in step 2 of this section.
C. Advance to option bank # 5 (8 chirps)
D. Advance to option #6;
E. Press and hold in the brake pedal and start the engine using the ignition key.
Allow the engine to settle to a normal idle speed. The system will chirp the horn every three (3) seconds if a valid tach signal is detected.
F. After the engine has settled to a normal idle speed, press and release the programming/override button (the horn will honk four (4 times) and turn the ignition key off.


Everything reacted as expected, was getting the chirp every three seconds and all.
Went to start using remote again, and four chirps AGAIN!

I am at a loss here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
