I bought a used cluster from a scrapped GT and as soon as I connected the right plug(if gauges are facing you), the check engine lit up.
Is it possible that the car I got it from, had the light come on and it somehow stayed on the cluster? On my original cluster there is no problem. Is it normal that the light is on without the key being in the ignition at all? I was afraid to start the car with it, with the hopes that the ECU will clear it.

The cluster shouldn't have any memory or control over any lights. It's possible the bulb was burned out on the old cluster. It could be worth swapping bulbs to see if it makes any difference. Did the CEL light up with the key on but the motor off with the old cluster?
