What's the sensor that needs replacing?
Check the wiring on the Oil pressure sending unit. It's above the oil filter. Can't miss it, its nippled up out of the filter housing

That groove is troublesome, find the source and fix it. If you think its the water pump then replace the water pump. Its all one unit thats not worth servicing.

Just changed the waterpump, which is why I thought it was the pulley, but that's a good tip about the harmonic balancer.

How bad would it be to leave my nss bypassed permanently? I'm having a hard time getting the switch out and I've almost stripped the threads off completely so I'm about done messing with it.

Depends on how safety conscious you are.

So, i read on the forum a lot about fog/extra driving lights. I also read that you don't necessarily want more light while driving in fog, but proper wattage and color. I know yellow light is better but does anyone have a recommendation on what type of fog lights i should look into?

Borrowing a tow dolley from friend, it has electric brakes. Would a 95 zj w/tow package already have some sort of hookup for a brake controller? Or do I just need to splice one in?

Nope. You'll need a proper brake controller. Time delay will get the job done and is cheap.

Meh. Nothing really. You just hhave to make sure it's in park or neutral when starting it so that you don't damage something. Make sure one of your buddy's doesn't be a jackwagon and decide to start it while you're laying underneath it or soemthing.... 'cause that could be bad if it's in gear.

It's really more made for idiots than anything. but that's JMO
