I have a friend who really needs to find his check engine light.
He has a '97 Nissan Pick-up truck, 2.4L, 4 cylinder.
Is the light just below the left turn signal, just above the oil light on the right, etc.?
It no longer lights up at startup and he is hoping it is just the bulb. He took apart the dash and found a lot of lights, but he can't find one labelled 'check engine' anad he doesn't remember where he last saw it (more than a year ago.) If he doesn't replace or repair the light, he will fail his emissions test, he tells me.
If the bulb is good, and replacing it doesn't help, is there another likely reason why it wouldn't go on when he first starts the car? I know on some cars, some lights are just grounded when the ignition is in Start, and if one goes on they all should, but I don't know anything recent about any of this.
Is it this simple, guaranteed to go on for the test period, when starting, if the bulb is good?
He only has 2 weeks to fix this.
Thanks a lot.
