service engine light never come on-bulb replaced
Hi,
I have a LG4 1986 irocz and my service engine light never comes on, even when i put me key in ON position or when i start my car. I replace the light bulb with a new one. Still does not come on. If I ground the bulb socket, I get 12V read. Any suggestions?

Look for the bulb driver module... kinda light bluish-green box w about a 4- or 5-pin connector. Usually in the console or underneath the radio. (more or less the same place in a way)

Do I need to remove the console completely or if I remove the radio only, I should see it somewhere in there?

Re: service engine light never come on-bulb replaced
I was told it should produce the 1.21 gigawatts the bulb needs in case the ECM is fried so the flux capacitor at least lights up. If it's bad your just stuck in time....somewhere.
I like your answer MUCH better than >>> "It's a FLUX CAPACITOR" lol

Once I find it, is there a way to test it out or should I just replace it? Thanks in advance!

First things first...
First, find it. Might just be missing. Especially if, some PO had put some Edelbrock carb on it or some such, disconnected the ECM, and got sick of the light glowing.
Second, see if it's hooked up.
