Changed my oil this weekend, who can guess what I broke?

Oil sending unit.

My 94 YJ oil gauge (not idiot light) started going crazy going thru the mountains the other day, fluxuating all over the scale.

Thing is, oil is ok (checking) it mutiple times.

What I am finding is the unit (itself) is only (hand) tight (my fault).:facepalm:

Can anyone tell me what (size) probably (opened end) wrench I need to snug that thing down? regretably:banghead: I don't have a cresent or channel locks at this time.

Thanks in advance,:thumb:

I will, minus the mentioned processing fees, so technically you owe me $50.

Another right answer. Your gift of net $0 will be in the mail.

Your right knuckle...

Oh, and if you need a filter wrench to take off your filter, it was put on too tight.

Don't I know it. My dad always taught me: Never tighten with a wrench, always only hand-tighten.

You don't have WHAT? that's the only thing I used to tighten it as I didn't have the right size wrench either. I think it's 1 1/8" or something. But don't quote me on that.

Hmm, did you break the wire bundle that connects to the starter's solenoid?
