Ok, I'm not getting any reading at all on my oil pressure gauge in my XJ. its a 98 with 110k miles. I've replaced the sender twice and have checked pressure with a mechanical gauge. I replaced the sending unit about two months ago for the first time because my gauge was dancing around and not reading right. That sensor lasted about a month until the second one started doing the same thing. Over the weekend it completely quit reading, so i warrantied it out at Oreillys for a new one. According to my mechanical gauge, Oil Pressure is just under 60 at idle when cold and drops down to 40ish when warmed up, so i know the engine is ok. I did the little cluster test by holding the trip button in while turning the key to the ''On'' position, so I know the gauge cluster itself is work, and I even used electronic cleaner to clean the connection on the sensor.
My question is, has anyone else had this much trouble? If so, what'd you do to fix the issue? The only thing i can think of is to get a wiring diagram and find the pinout on the PCM and run new wires from the sensor to the pcm.
Can anyone help me out on this one before I start wiring crap i dont need?
