Have a 1998 Ford F150. Great truck. Runs great. Problem is that it would not pass inspection because the check engine light will NOT come on. Apparently it is not a fuse (tried that). One mechanic said it could run upwards of $400-500 to fix. Please give me some suggestions. Thanks.

Have you checked the obvious of replacing the bulb?

People have been know to remove the bulb when they can't figure out how to resolve the issue that puts it on.

darlamary; Just checked; Calls for one hour labor to remove the instrument cluster to replace the bulb. I'd recommend going elsewhere to get this fixed.
