This morning my Tachometer stoped working and reads 0 RPM. All other gauges seem to be working fine. No other problems seem apparrent. What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

There is no check engine light nor any other anomalies that I can find other than the Tachometer just seemed to quit working suddenly.

Well seeing as how engine speed is measured by the crankshaft sensor and you said that there is no CEL and no driveability problems I would probably say that you have a bad cluster. However, you need to make sure that you are getting a signal to the instrument cluster itself. I would make sure you are getting a ground at pin #5(brown) and get a scope and make sure you are getting a signal from pin#8(brown-orange). If you had a diagnostic scanner you should be able to do it with that. Also, do you have any trouble codes?
