Dunno if this helps...

my '96 4.0, when I got it, the oil pressure gauge was pegged all the way to the right. I took out the oil pressure sensor and it was faulty, the little pin was pushed all the way in, and it was leaking oil all over the place. Replaced the sensor and it was back to normal.

It took 10 min and the sensor is not very expensive.

Yes, for a light in the dash.

The sender, whether it is for the gauge or idiot light, is located right above the oil filter adapter.
