Long story short. 180SX with RB25, having trouble with it, so I go to pull the codes. Did the whole short the CHK & IGN ecu pins. But when I went to check the cel on the gauge cluster, well, I realized I dont know where it is. And I feel pretty retarded. Tried searching, googling, going thru fsm. And I felt even dumber. I attached a picture of my cluster with ignition on if anyone can be a hero. Thanks team!

Isn't that the idea of why you would switch to a JDM cluster to ditch the idiot light.? Besides the km/h, and the 9k tach.

You don't have a check engine light. I installed one of these "jdm" clusters before and there's no cel. I actually have the type x cluster on mine and it's the same story. What most people do is wire the ECU check engine signal to where the catalyser overheat is on these clusters (bottom left), since there's no one running temp sensors for their cat on this continent ;)

Ibogkush: you're wrong! THAT is the catalyser overheat light. These cars have temp sensors in there (overseas) :nono:

True.

I have a JDM cat and it has a temp sensor bung on it.
