89Ru Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 2008 Outback Wagon dash check engine light fails to illuminate at power up test. Car is new to me, so it won't pass inspection (presuming) without a working CEL. Taking the combination meter out reveals this design likely has LED's instead of bulbs but I can't access them yet. If I can get parts, maybe I can unsolder and replace. But I can't separate the PCB from the white housing without removing the gauges…how do they come off? Straight pull? They seem fragile.

GeneralDisorder Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Normally they don't care as long as there's no codes. They pull off. But it's a pain. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Ru Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Never mind, PO had a piece of black tape underneath the gauge covering the CEL, so no disassembly needed! GD here in TN they fail you if the CEL is burnt out, no mercy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
