Well...Autozone is at it again (I think). I'm attempting to do a
simple idiot lights to gauges swap on my 1991 Cherokee 4.0 HO. So far
what's holding up the show is that Autozone has sold me an oil
pressure switch with a connector that looks NOTHING like the one I
have in the Jeep currently (spade connecter offset from center). The
one I bought looks like (o ) where o is the single round pin. Upon
taking it back to Autozone and asking to see the sensor they sell for
the idiot light, they show me one with a thumb-tack looking connector.

*Sigh*

So, long story short, any kind souls out there with a 1991 Cherokee
that can e-mail me a picture of their oil pressure switch and
connector?

Thanks!

My son and I just did the gauge swap on his 89 Cherokee. We got the sensors
at NAPA and the oil one was $32. It has a spade lug as did the idiot light
one. Also it's about 3" long and about 1.5 inches in diameter. The
temperature sensor has a screw fitting on it. Sorry but I just threw out the
boxes with the napa part numbers on them today. The "new" gauge set we got
even had a tack and it was only $17.

Thanks for the info. Suprisingly, my car-inept brother came to the
rescue as well, he's got an '89 that was leaking oil from there and
decided to try to replace it too. He ran into the same problems and
came to the same solution you did (Napa instead of Autozone). So, I'm
stopping by Napa on my way home from work today and they writing a
nasty-gram to Autozone.
