Default Broke Sensor.
Im not really what it is but on the passenger side towards the bottom of the 4.0 the sensor broke off. I pulled the broke part off and it had these two green plactic prongs in it. What is it?

Do you have the gauge cluster or the idiot lights?
Was it ~1.5" round x ~2" long?

It was about 1 1/2 round and then the piece that broke off was a 2 or 3 inches long. The piece that broke off had threads on the end to go arond the 1 1/2 piece.
