Hi, This forum has been as immense help. Now I need a little more.
My problem is my check engine light works, it is just not visible during the day.
It is barely visible at night. I understand the instrument cluster is made up of LEDs.
So, do I pull the cluster and replace it, or will it perpetuate with a new cluster?
Could this be caused by a short in the harness?
Now in the fine state of California, if you fail a smog check, the state(at their discretion) can reimburse up to $500 to fix a vehicle to pass smog. I have to check if I still qualify for reimbursement.
Does anyone know a smog station who might be willing to state the light is visible(just needs to be very dark)?
Other than the light, the car runs perfectly, no codes or issues.
Car is a 99.5 Golf gls. has 200K on her now.
Thanks for any input. Need to get this taken of before the end of the month.
