The check engine light bulb is not working after changing the bulb in the cluster.

I noticed my check engine light wasnt coming on when I turn my car on. So I figured the bulb burned out. I found a video on youtube showing me how to change the bulbs & changed all the bulbs in the cluster. Put it all back together, turned the car on & the check engine light still isnt coming on. HELP!!!!

Cluster or printed circuit on cluster could be bad. Double ck the bulb and socket also.

I just recently started working on my own car. So how do I check to see if they're bad?

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the stock 95-01 section. Connect a test light or a multimeter onto the socket while you turn the ignition key.

is it possible that circuit was cut by the seller of the truck so that you wouldn't see a check engine light and pull some major codes?

I agree with turbotom1052, check for cut wires. This is all too common unfortunately. Also, check the terminals in the light socket for corrosion and make sure the terminals press up against the light terminals to make a good connection. A voltmeter will tell you if you're getting the needed 12v to illuminate the light.

Did you replace the light with an incandescent bulb or an LED? If you used an LED, then pull it out & reverse it. A lot of them only work if they are placed one way in the socket.
