hello guys,new from canada to the forum.I picked up this rust free 1 owner Cherokee chief last week,4.0,280kms,auto.,242tc,havent looked at the axles.runs pretty well,havent had it out yet.interior like new,but am looking for a few light blue window cranks if anyone has them,so,a few things need fixing 1st.,steering wheel very loose,no dash running lights,not sure if its in the switch,or elec issue????any ideas.also oil pressure Gauge is pinned at all times,ign. on or off,im thinking its the gauge,as I have power at the sender unit with test light.sound like the gauge to you guys???
parts needed:
oil pressure gauge
1 standard black rim hubcap,hard to find up here.............
3 blue window crank handles
pm me if you happen to have any parts.........

Your oil pressure problem is more then likely the oil pressure sending unit and not the gauge. When the sending unit fails the usually read at max pressure.
