Exclamation Speedo/Gauge cluster removal...?

While installing my gauge overlays, I had to put in/take out my speedometer cluster a few times and since then I now see that my CEL light is no longer on? It was ON prior to this mod due to my removal or the AIR and EGR when I added the LS6 intake awaiting a tuner to tune it out. Is their some "learning cycle" for the light to come back on or should I assume either the bulb has went out or my new gauge overlay has that area blacked out?

(I know I still need the PCM tuned to have AIR and EGR deleted too.)

Quickest way to see if it's the bulb or not is to cycle the ignition key and see if the SES light comes on during the test period (turn the key to run but don't start the engine).

You could also hook up an OBD scanner and see if the MIL is commanded on. If it is, and the SES is not lit up, then you have a problem with the bulb or cluster.
