Also, how long have you had the car? And have you ever seen the MIL work? Some people remove the bulb to ghetto bypass the light from coming on.

+1 on this. Bulb is first thing to check and most likely issue. Replacement bulbs are readily available at any parts store.

Yeah lets sell the guy a cluster when all he needs is the bulb!

Just pull out the cluster and swap the CEL bulb with a known working bulb like the seat belt bulb. Some clusters even have extra bulbs back there.
