There are 4 possiblites.

1.) O2 sensor - there are 2 of them, a RH one & a LH one. You'll get a code 41 or 91
2. VSS sensor you'll get a code 27 or 29.
3.) Netural Safety Switch.
4.) Backup light switch.

Dump the codes and see what the computer says is wrong…

Here's the link to dump the computer codes with only a jumper wire or paper clip and the check engine light, or test light or voltmeter. I’ve used it for years, and it works great.

See http://www.troublecodes.net/Ford/
OR
See http://www.dalidesign.com/hbook/eectest.html for more descriptive help
OR
See http://www.mustangworks.com/articles/electronics/eec-iv_codes.html

IF your car is an 88 or earlier stang, you'll have to use the test lamp or voltmeter method. There is no functional check engine light on the 88's except possibly the Cali Mass Air cars.

Codes have different answers if the engine is running from the answers that it has when the engine isn't running. It helps a lot to know if you had the engine running when you ran the test.
Go figure...

driver side oil pan is the low oil level sensor, the oil pressure sensor is feed into the block itself to the left of the oil filter, behind the timing cover
