Not that I know of.
The oil sending unit itself typically does not cause the engine to shut off directly. However, if it fails and sends incorrect readings, it could trigger the oil pressure warning light, leading the driver to shut off the engine to prevent damage. In some cases, a significant drop in oil pressure due to a faulty sending unit could result in the engine shutting off as a protective measure. Regular maintenance and monitoring of oil pressure can help prevent such issues.
The temp sending unit may be shorted to ground. Unplug the sending unit to see if the gauge drops to cold. If it does, you have a faulty temp sending unit.
To test the oil pressure sending unit in a 1989 Ford F250, start by disconnecting the electrical connector from the sending unit. Use a multimeter to check for continuity; a good unit should show continuity when the engine is off and change as the engine runs. Alternatively, you can use an oil pressure gauge by removing the sending unit and installing the gauge in its place to directly measure the oil pressure while the engine is running. If the gauge shows normal pressure but the sending unit does not, the sending unit may be faulty and should be replaced.

The temp sending unit on the engine could be unplugged or faulty.
Bad fuel sending unit, or a faulty circuit to the fuel sending unit.
Faulty sending unit.
Remove the oil pressure sending unit retaining ring. Remove the wiring harness from the sending unit. Poll the sending unit out of the engine.
The engine oil sending unit on your Dodge 2.7 liter engine is located in the bottom of the engine. The oil sending unit can be accessed by removing the oil pan.
Coolant temperature sending unit is located on the front of the engine. The cooling temperature sending unit will be on the right hand side of the engine.
Fuel sending unit is in the tank, you need to check that the wiring is ok. Take the unit out and then turn the ignition but DO NOT START the engine - after holding the three wires from the sending unit together - this should show full tank and also low fuel indicator as being on. This show circuit is ok and sending unit is faulty. Regards - Qaiser
