Check Engine Light Never Working!

Hey guys , I have a 2006 Honda Civic Lx Sedan and I recently failed smog due to my CEL not coming on. All the other lights on the gauge cluster seem to appear but not this one. Do you guys have any idea of what it might be ??

So when you turn the key to ACC position the CEL doesn't come on?

LED's can go bad.

correct, the light NEVER comes on. Forgot to mention in the thread I recently bought the car a month ago from a random person.

Well that's suspicious!!

I would pull the cluster out and see what you are working with. There might be a circuit mounted LED that is soldered that is bad, a broken trace. A new cluster might be needed but pulling it out and looking is a start.
