My engine light has been on for two yrs now I believe it was the egr code. And I'm probley not gonna bother fixing it. I was just wondering if there anything I can do to disable the check engine light like pull a fuse or bulb I need my inspection sticket done soon.

if you have a 96+ with OBDII they're just going to plug the scanner into the car and the codes will come up anyway. and if you have a 94-95 with OBDI they probably just use the sniffer (I guess) and if its your EGR valve then you'll most likely fail emissions anyway, it won't matter if the bulb works or not

and I believe the fuse for that controls all the gauge lights
