the sensor is located right above the oil filter....careful they crack very easily...but are really easy to replace...part costs about 25 bucks. Do you have to drain the oil I wonder? You do not have todrain the oil to change out a pressure sensor. No. the unit is outside. you can unplug it and check your oil pressure gauge, it will be to the far right when it is unplug.

It is on the back of the engine, just to the passenger side of the distributor.

It is right behind the oil filter.
The plug or sensor above the oil filter on a 1996 Cherokee is the oil pressure sending unit. This sensor controls the oil pressure gauge.
Check sending unit or sending unit wiring for short to ground. Also could be a plugged oil line causing a spike in pressure. Try installing a mechanical gauge to get an accurate pressure reading.
It's a 30 dollar part. The unit should be located near the filter. Unplug/Unscrew the old one and insert new and plug in.
Perhaps worn engine bearings due to excessive mileage or lack of regular maintenance
If the oil sending unit is leaking oil by the inside of the component, then I don't know of any way to fix that other than removal and replace with another one. If it is leaking by the threads, then you can try teflon tape to seal that. Also make sure it is leaking from the sending unit and not leaking down from the valve cover.
