I posted earlier about the EGR valve, I had my van fail the emsion test with P0404 code, no CEL ever came on. I fixed the valve with a new one and no more codes. I noticed that the CEL light does not work. I did a test for the instrument panel by holding the "trip" button in for 10 seconds, everything light up other than the CEL light. Now is this repairable? can a new bulb be replace? or something else? Please help me with this. Thanks guys.

 

You may want to remove the cluster and ck the bulb.It maybe burnt out.

 

Master Tech, I had at one time removed the cluster to replace the bulbs to light up the panel, is there a way to open up the cluster to get to that CEL bulb. I dont want to break anything, or does is snap off? Thanks for your help.

 

What year is your van?

 

Yes that would help 2005 DGV 3.8

 

I think the only replaceable bulbs in '05 are the cluster illumination. Not possitive though.

 

cluster is pretty easy to remove though, you pop up the little cover right behind the column covers. There are 4 screws in the cluster bezel and remove it. 4 screws for the cluster and lean it forward to disconnect it and out she comes.

 

I have taken it out once to replace those bulbs, but is there anyway to replace the CEL bulb? or anyother bulb inside the cluster?

 

Here's what I could find in the manual....

It appears that the MIL lamp is an LED and not replaceable.
