hey i have a 97 xj with the 4.0 and today i swapped out the gauge cluster and i noticed my oil pressure stays at zero. Before i did this i noticed that the dummy light for the oil light never lit up so when i swapped it out someone removed the bulb. i went under the hood and by the oilfilter its leaking oil. could this be a problem?

you need the sender for the gauge. The old one is just a switch.

ohh so with the new gauge cluster it wont just work?

89Laredo

no

you need a oil sending unit for a gauge set up

x91j

i just read that thats only for pre 97. the 97+ is plug and play

x91j

kinda scared to drive it now

The sender is shot and leaking, change it.

x91j

im not 100% it is the sender. but when i unplugged it some oil came out

freegdr

if its leaking oil replace it

x91j

i guess ill replace it and see what happens because i just ran the gauge check and all of them work.

x91j

is it safe to drive? i mean im pretty sure ive been driving it like this since i bought it
