my oil light came on the other day while at a red light. when i accelareted it went out till i got up to speed then it came back on. saw that it was leaking to i replaced it. not leaking anymore but still doing the same thing whith coming on and off. any ideas? thanks very much

 

Year/engine?

Do you mean the "check gauges" light came on?

Where did you get the oil pressure switch? There have been many threads of people having trouble with certain (not all) aftermarket sending units.

Because I have had mixed (poor) luck with these as well, this is one sending unit that I buy directly from Jeep. Worth the extra $20.

You can also verify your exact oil pressure by temporarily installing a mechanical gauge where the oil pressure sending unit currently resides. This gauge can be rented from many big box parts stores.

 

its an 89 with a 4.0 i got the sender from auto zone as i did with the one before it lol. i only have the idiot lights but i did put a guage on it after i did my oil pump to make sure i had oil pressure so i know its good im wondering if it could be the wire grounding out to the block somewhere?
