Failed inspection because of no check engine light?

Maybe, you are supposed to have a check engine light bulb. Here it is in the cluster wiring diagrams, does it look like it has been removed? I would get another bulb and holder and install it. There might be trouble codes which is why it was removed. Did you buy the car new or? Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

was bought used and this is the first time I've had any problem with inspection. disassembled and there are no LEDs installed under cover. apparently never installed. Thanks for the answer.

This is my gauge cluster. there are no LEDs installed.

Good call, does the circuit board on the rear of the cluster have provisions for a small twist in bulb socket? If you upload an image of the rear of the cluster I can see for you.

When I get home after work I'll double check, but i don't think it has. just a circuit board and hole.

Here's ther back of the board.

Those are bulb socket holes, I can't tell if there is a conductive metal surface at the socket hole, or is it just board? This is what should be in there if there is a conductive material. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Will do, thanks.

is there a conductive metal surface at the socket hole, or is it just board? It is hard to tell from the image?

Yes,there is a conductive area on the top.

Yep, it looks like someone removed it, good find, let me know if it starts working once you get the replacement bulb and socket.

It works. thanks for the help. Oh, FYI the sockets are a size T5 if anyone ever asks again.

Glad you could get it fixed, thanks for letting us know. Please use 2CarPros anytime we are here to help. Can you please leave us a rating?
