97 Jeep Cherokee project EP 17: Oil pressure sensor harness repair

[@jeffreykropp7664]

Do you have a link for this little harness kit? We have ‘96 ZJ 4.0. Many thanks.

[@jeffreykropp7664]

Mate what's that Knock in the engine.is that normal??????

[@jeepstuff9189]

Lifter tick, super common on these xjs after about 200k, I’m almost at 300k at this point. It doesn’t cause any problems it’s just the hydrologic lifters sticking or being warn it’s just an annoying sound, I’m actually replacing them this summer.

[@teresamaxwell7173]

I had 3 wires ?

[@jeepstuff9189]

Different years had different wires, I know some of the earlier years only had just one, you’ll just wanna search the part for your jeeps year, if you use eBay where I got mine they have vehicle for verification to make sure you get the right one, but the install process is just that same. Good luck! :)

I want to replace the harness and all the wires all the way back…but don’t know the part…1996

[@jeepstuff9189]

Here’s a link to the part I got on eBay should be good in a 96 as well! www.ebay.com/itm/155158953996?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&srsltid=ASuE1wRuvITWnCttzZ5l2W0u3wDLxLTggy3NIBCRnlM9s8f6bPVRwQaeLS0&com_cvv=d30042528f072ba8a22b19c81250437cd47a2f30330f0ed03551c4efdaf3409e

Bro i got a 1996 and it only has 1 wire on it

[@jeepstuff9189]

Really do you have the same issue? Or is it working and is just like that from the factory?

[@capitanwreckaho2343]

My oil pressure doesn't show I replaced the sensor n it's still not working the wire harness was full of oil and old so I'm thinking it's that but the connection that's in the car has 1 wire n the 1 that I got at the auto parts has 2

[@jeepstuff9189]

What is suggest then is maybe seeing if you can find a 96 at a pull yard and cut it off and use it off a donor

[@capitanwreckaho2343]

@@jeepstuff9189 yea I think that's what I'ma be doing I was GANA try to just connect 1 into it and see if it worked that way

[@Hogib35]

Dude mine is a 99 and it's leaking out oil.. no stalling, oil pressure a tad above 40lbs..
