Re: Oil pressure gauge stuck
Did you end up with one for an idiot light? Those will be full on when the engine is running and will cause the gauge to be pegged
Re: Oil pressure gauge stuck
I think 4.3LXJ nailed it. There are two different Oil pressure Sensors for the pre-97 XJs. 97+ only have one that works with both types of gauge clusters.
Re: Oil pressure gauge stuck
Thank you both for your replies. I am not sure this is the one I purchased :-http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OIL-PRESSURE-SWITCH-JEEP-ADA106603C-BY-BLUE-PRINT-/400752183051?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM& fits=Car+Make%3AJeep|Model%3ACherokee|Cars+Year%3A 1995|Plat_Gen%3AXJ|Cars+Type%3A4.0i&hash=item5d4eb 1070b.
My jeep is a 1995 4.0Ltr model. Would you know what part number I am looking for so the gauge will work again?
Thanks in advance

Re: Oil pressure gauge stuck
After looking at that page and the compatibility, I would stay away from that brand. They list that sender for everything Jeep made. But there are two different senders for each model year depending on what instrument cluster you have up to 96
Re: Oil pressure gauge stuck
thank you 4.3lxj. I didn't know there were different ones. It stopped the oil leak the old switch had and is still OK. The gauge not working is something I would like to sort.
Would you happen to know where the best place would be to get the correct one?
Thanks

Re: Oil pressure gauge stuck
I have to confess I am not familiar with your options there. Try a PM to PhilXJ4L. He lives near you and buys lots of stuff for his XJ
Re: Oil pressure gauge stuck
did you tap the gauge 3 times with your finger??? usually works for me!
sorry, i've got nothing to add. just bored at work. but it sounds like you got the wrong sender
