Check Engine Light
New Issue New Thread...
I tore my dash apart to get to the instrument cluster, when I pulled the cluster I found that the lights for ABS and CEL had been pulled. I moved one of the working illumination lights to the CEL spot and plugged the whole mess back in but the CEL did not come on when I turned the ignition to position one. Any suggestions or info?

Not sure it would matter either way, but just for our info, what year truck, what model engine, transmission and drive type (2wd or 4wd) are you working with?
Your info says you have a 2019 truck, but guessing this is an older one you're talking about?
I don't remember ever reading about a no-light situation before, though it may have been discussed. So I have no idea if it's a circuit board thing on the back of the cluster (can probably be checked with a multi-meter?) or a PCM thing, or just a simple wiring issue.
But lots of smart folks hereabouts, so maybe an answer will be forthcoming.
Good luck! Curious myself.

My post was premature...
I took the cluster back out and cleaned the connections on both the cluster and the sockets and tried again. Its working just fine now. Thanks for the response, next time Ill exhaust all of my options before consulting the wealth of knowledge on this forum.
Ill Change my info as well. My truck is a '93 F250 with a 460. Manual 4x4
