Oil sensor connector
I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Classic. The oil Sensor connector is leaking. I can follow the one wire to a hub of wires. Do I dig into that? Is that where it connects?

oil sending unit connector
I have only one wire. Does that wire come out of the connector? I have tried to carefully pull it out and it will not come out. All the replacement parts show the wire attached. I have followed the wire to the other end and it is in a hub of other wires. I really do not want to dig into that.

The oil pressure sender is threaded in. There is a connector that clips onto it to send the signal out. This connector can be removed. Do not dig into any wiring harness.

Correct. It is a sending unit, not a "sensor". Oil generally doesn't leak from wiring harnesses. They generally emit smoke.......

Ok. That makes sense. I have had to put in power steering fluid. I replaced the oil sending unit. Where is the power steering pressure switch? Or is the hose maybe leaking?
