Default Is their an easy way to replace the engine light?

Here is my problem my 99FRC through 3 codes to pass the emissions needless to say I failed Two for O2 sensors no cats woops... and one for the engine light was out. I recently purchased the car so I am guessing the previous owner went to the straight pipes and took the light out or it burned out? Anyways is it possible to get to light to replace it without dismantling the whole dash? Any input will help have to pass by Tuesday!!

I doubt the light is turned off..or burned out for that matter. Rather, the codes for specific things are probably turned off. Get with a local tuner to get it checked out.

Easy way to check...turn the ignition on, but don't start the car...does it light up or not?


(that's exactly how emissions stations determine if the light works or disabled)
