ok well my check engine light is not working, it doesnt come on when the car first starts. I'm wondering what the cause could be, i'll try checking to see if the bulb is even there. This car was given to me by my father. I dont know if this happened after the swap, swaped from a ka24e to a ka24e with lower milage. hahaha.

Probably the CEL was on for so long that it burned the damn bulb out. I've seen it before.

Doubt it, unless your cluster is has also gone bad (like mine did). Are any of the lights on the left side working?

If its just the CEL, its prob just the bulb.

to op:
put your key in the ignition
turn the key to power on the electrical devices
all bulbs should be lit up, so you can tell if any are burned out

Probably the CEL was on for so long that it burned the damn bulb out. I've seen it before.

I hope my airbag light that blinks burns out :p

just look at ur ECU, the red light on the ECU comes on along with the cluster's CEL
