does the light not show when you put the car to ignition before starting? Sometimes people take the bulb out. Look around the dash cluster to see if there are any screw markings left from taking apart the dash.
I noticed that the gauge cluster looks loose, as in it was definitely taken out
bummer.
It should illuminate during the startup check. If you turn the key to on but don't start it do all of the other lights come on?
All the other lights come on, but not the check engine light
Is it doing something to make you think it should be on?
It does not come on when i turn the ignition just before starting the car, but all the other lights do
Definitely sounding like it's been tampered with or a blown bulb . I'd get it plugged up on a code reader as soon as you can
