Stuck or not working tachometer.

[97xltawd5.0]

2000 explorer xlt 2wd. 4.0. With engine running tach is not registering. 0 rpm. when i tap on dashboard just above insterment panel. It jumps to whatever rpm it is running at that time. Is there any quick fixs any other experiences like this??? 200k miles. I just bought it runs great. Thanks

Sounds like a broken solder joint in the tack stepper motor

On the back of that gauge you will have to remove your cluster to re solder
