is the ses light suppose to go on after you start the car or not? In other car the light goes on and then goes off. In my max it doesn't go on at all, is this normal?

it should go on for a brief moment.

turn your key to on possition but don't start the car, make sure all light light up.

yea i think the light is out, is this an easy replacement or is this gonna cost me some $$$$. if anyone has replaced the light before please let me know, also if it is not the light what else could it be?

its easy to replace. you have to remove the cluster and there is a twist style bulb that you remove and replace its not too bad

hey what year max are you talking bout? i got a 03 i took the cluster apart today and the fricking warning lights are all like solder on led or something and the ses one is burnt. has anyone else had this happened to them? also if i replace the whole cluster what would this affect? i mean the odometer? gauges?

i have a 2002 and i was pretty sure last time i was in there the ses light was a twist in style bulb, you may be able to get the bulb from radio shack just retain the socket

it is a twist off.
However i bet any money that once you plug that bulb in it will stay on.
haha most likely previous owner wanted to sell you a car with no MIL light on and some ppl rather unplug the bulb then fix the issue.
