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.

QUOTE I bought a used cluster from a GT since I sold mine ( a ST ). As soon as I plug it in the CEL comes on even if the key is not in the ignition. If I prep or start the car CEL comes off. Turn off the car, CEL and fans come on. Unplug the bulb, fans turn off. What the hell is going on?  http://youtu.be/nvNcW4C_a68 -------------------- |

What the hell is going on? http://youtu.be/nvNcW4C_a68 I would assume that GT and ST clusters should be the same, but I think they don't since both have different engine and signals are different. that might be the reason -------------------- 1994 ST Celica --> no swap --> 7A rebuild
