Default Engine Check Light Problem

I have this also posted in the Scan and Tune section but felt there is more traffic here.

My 87 is nearing the due date for the dreaded smog check and I have noticed recently that the engine check light does not come on now when the key is in the on position prior to starting.
Other functions such as battery etc display but not the engine check light which is required.
Could it be the bulb or something else and how much trouble is it to remove the display panel?
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks,
Jim

Have you tried unplugging something while car is running that would cause a trouble light Just to see

I'd start with checking the bulb.
