Oil Pressure Gauge
I brought a preowned 1993 Jeep Cherokee Sport. It was sitting for 3 years but it runs great and i got a pretty good deal for it. The thing is the oil pressure gauge hasn't moved from zero . Ive checked all the oil and added what was needed but there was no change to the gauge. Is there anyway to check if its the gauge or what would I need to replace to fix this problem.

Not sure if its the same for 93 but my 00 i replaced the oil pressure switch/sending unit which costs like $20 OEM (dont bother w 3rd party) and just screws on, easy cheap fix, if that doesnt work id think about the gauge

Yep, that sounds like a bad oil pressure sensor. The sensor can easily be broken off when changing the oil filter or in many cases they just go bad over time, it seems to be a common thing that goes out on XJ's. Very easy to replace, just unplug the old one and unscrew it, use the same steps in reverse for installation. It takes maybe 5 minutes at the most. Changed it in my 93' XJ sport and the gauge has worked ever since.
