Okay, I live in California and I need to get a smog check in the next month. I currently have a 1990 KA24E with a replaced cluster gauge that I bought outside of CA. When I turn the switch to electrical, all my lights turn on except for the check engine light. In fact, my cluster doesn't even have a check engine light design on it. Does anyone have a solution that may they be able to think of? Thanks in advanced!

Gross, Im sorry you have to deal with that. To the OP, you can get a cluster for pretty darn cheap on here.

I have another question.... I still have the digital gauge that first came with the car when I bought it, and the check engine light still works on there; however, the digital speedometer gauge doesn't work. Can they fail me if my speedometer is not functional? Remember I live in California where smog checks are pretty picky ^_^;;;

Most def they can, they even do that in PA. The speedo is manditory, but most people around here just give stickers to the older cars.
