Cars dies

2005 Chrysler 300 5.7L. When the car dies the oil pressure light comes on and another light just left of the speedometer that I can't identify. The MIL doesn't come on. The car has oil and I just replaced the oil sending unit a few months ago because it was leaking. Any ideas?

The oil light comes on because pressure is lost when the engine shuts off. When this problem happens, you need to check to see if the engine is getting spark and fuel. One will most likely be missing. For directions, see our DIY section on our home page. Next, once you identify what is lost, then you can focus on that system.
