Oil Pressure Sending Unit/Relay.. 97'

ODXJ97 · Mar 16, 2006

My oil pressure gauge is doing the crazy dance (from zero to 40 to 80 to zero, etc.) so I'm assuming I need to replace the sending unit or relay... which ever. Does anyone know exactly where it's located on a 97' 4.0L? Thanks.

right next to the oil filter adapter. Should have one wire going to it. You might try just cleaning off the connector and reseating it.

You're talking about where the oil filter screws on... correct?

yep, it's right by the oil filter.

best image I could find.

like 87 said , try cleaning the connection first, fixed mine

Hmmmmm... much appreciated, but mine doesn't look like that (1997). I did clean the nearest electrical looking device that happened to be attached to the oil filter housing, as well as adding dielectric grease to the connectors............. it didn't help. :dunno:

it was basically an electrical plug right above the filter right ?? That was it . They are known to be a flaky part, cleaning fixes a lot of them but sounds like it's time to replace yours

Yup, that's the one. Indeed, time for replacement. Thanks all.
