It is specifically located under the aft exhaust manifold where it is held with one screw or a bolt in some cases. You may need to replace it but it can be difficult to remove these screws. Make sure You have a flat head screwdriver on You. You need to replace Your crankshaft position sensor as soon as possible if Your engine starts stalling. This can be result of a wiring issue, but it generally indicates a bad crankshaft position sensor as well.

Bought a new (non Mopar) sensor and installed it due to the rubber gasket being broke and leaking oil. The old sensor snapped and I had a heck of a time getting it out. Well never did I have a check engine light light or code for this sensor, until new one was installed. Now I get Vrnk shaft, multi misfire, camshaft codes and occasional stall and rwv limit of 2,500 rpm's. Once I stop and wait say many 2 hours and restart it it runs fine for a while then same thing. It drops to 0 rpm loses power and then RPM's rise again and engine turns back to normal but with a 2,500 rpm's limit.
