Weird Problem

Hey guys,

I was wondering if you'll be able to help me figure out whats wrong with my ford focus (06' LX). The temp gauge keeps moving around. Normally it'd just sit right below the middle line, but lately its been moving in between the second line and the middle, it wont go over the half way though. For example while driving my temp would drop then go back up if i speed a little then drop down again, and it only ever moves between those 2 lines. The heater etc runs fine, so i'm not too sure whats wrong with it.
Any ideas?

Could be a sticky thermostat or electrical issues with the dash
If its dash, I would expect other guages to play up as well. Other possibility is the temp sender on the thermostat housing area is giving up. Sorry but its a process of eleminating these possibilities.
