| Post subject: | Oil pressure warning light |
Last Monday on my way home from the airport my oil presuure warning light came on.I pulled into a gas station to check te oil level and it was fine. I proceeded on home and after a couple of stop and go's the light didn't come back on. I figured it had something to do with jeep sitting at the airport for a week. It didn't come back on again until this morning on my way to work. It only comes on as I about to stop and once I give it some gas and start to accelerate the light goes off. Anybody else ever have this problem or any ideas what could be causing it. |

I took it in to the dealership this morning and the problem is the oil sending unit.They also said there was an oild leak where it goes into the block so I am glad I took it in. They are in the process of replacing it so hopefully that takes care of the problem. |

Yep, just had this fixed on mine last weekend. It was the oil press. sensor. It had been leaking for a while (slowly) but recently started a steady drip when running. The light had been coming on intermittently for about a year as you described. Hasn't come back on since the sensor was replaced. |

Hey Badgts just curious what did the dealership charge to replace yours? |

$98 and change for the fix. Included the new sensor and labor. |

I had mine replaced a few months ago (maybe 3??) and now it appears to be going bad again. Do these parts have a warranty once replaced? Like 1 year or x amount of miles? SDS |

if you had it fixed at a dealership, then you should get a 12 month warranty on the work and parts. if you bought the part and did it yourself, then you are out of luck. |
