This light is indicating the ECU has picked up a problem with the fuel injection system. It can be anything from a faulty oxygen sensor to a faulty speed sensor, you need to have the vehicle scanned for fault codes at diagnostics centre. I recommend finding a good workshop, as some places will scan for the fault, replace what the car is saying is faulty without checking it properly and the fault still remains. This leads them on a parts swapping frenzy until the light goes out.

Engine light

If it is a check engine light (amber color) there is a fault in the emission control system, if it is a red engine light that could be low oil pressure.

2001 Lincoln LS V8 Advance Trac sensors replaced, but amber light on dashboard will not quit flashing. Shop cleared the codes when they replaced the sensor. The

The repair shop did not make the repair necessary

There are no advance trac sensors

Advance Trac is an add on option when new,
to the ABS Braking system

Even if the mil lamp is cleared, there will be codes
there when you access with a professional scanner,
since you have the amber lamp on

The only sensors are wheel speed sensors

Trying to locate where the check engine light is located the bulb is missing and we need to replace but can't locate where it is

use a flashlight and shine it on the dashboard instement panel at an angle.. it is going to be an amber (orange/yellow) color .

You will be required to remove the dash board instrement panel anyways to change the bulb... It will be easier to locate when the panel has been removed from the dash... as then you can shine the light into the back side of the instrement panel and see the amber lense of the service engine light more readily.

Engine block amber light

sounds like your check engine light is on. On 99ish 3 series the check engine light was an amber engine in the instrument cluster. I thought 5 series actually said service engine soon. If you cycle your key the bulb check should illuminate all lights. see if you have a light that says service engine soon, if not, the amber engine, is the check engine light.

take your tahoe to autozone for a free "check engine" light test. This will not tell you the pin point problem, but will narrow is down to at two to three errors.
