We Just bought the 05 Saturday ,i noticed the tach was working correctly on the way home .Today i drove it into town and the tach didn't move .After a couple of minutes it came up to around 500 so i revved the motor a bit and it came up to 1K .I stopped at a friends house and started it to go home and the tach worked correct again any ideas on what is going on?

Not really. Just have to pull the dash panel.. may 20 to 30 minutes. Been a while. Afterwards. .. a good spldering iron and a steady hand. The hardest part for me was getting the needles back on in the proper position. Took a few tries
 
Where do you get these motors ? Are they all the same ,or are the different for different gauges ?
I saw a pretty good right up on replacing them but i didn't see where to get them or if they were different for different gauges .
I wonder if Ford had a recall on these ? It seems like a lot of people had problems with them.
