Oil pressure sensor?

Where is the oil pressure sensor on my 85 F250 6.9? When I turn the key on without starting the motor, My oil press goes high and stays there even when running untill I turn the key off. I was hoping that I could un plug the sensor to see if the sensor was bad or if I had a bad wire somewhere. Can anyone help me out? Thanks
