I just took my truck to the garage to be repaired. It didn't pass emissions. The check engine light still doesn't work. The emissions inspection said it might be unplugged. Does anyone know where this plug could be.
Thanks

Hello,

In order to access the light bulb for the check engine light you will have to take the gauge cluster off of the dash.
The bulb plugs in from the back of the gauge.

The bulb could be inoperative due to bad wiring as well.

I have attached the cluster removal process as well as the cluster wiring schematics for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
