Check the bulb for that paticular light. Very good possibility that the bulb could be burned out.

if you bought it used, the previous owner or dealer may have disabled it on purpose to sell it easier.

when I bought the truck used the engine light was always on , would clear the codes to pass emmissions , a week or so later the light would reappear and I would repeat the clearing sequence . After a recent tune-up the light went out and would not come on even with key on test , the trouble code p1443 was registered on the states computer and does not relate to the light as far as I can tell , it has more to do with the purge cannester , however I did not fail this particular test . so you can see my delima , anyone with insight please comment I have ten days before registration expires .

I'm thinking you have two problems, I would check the bulb for the no CEL. Check out the link in the tech info post on the EVAP P1443 code.
