It sounds like you may have a fuse out. Here are some wiring diagrams and a guide to help us get started checking to see whats wrong.

There is no fuse for the check engine light but the system uses many fuses and its best if we know that they are okay before we chase our tail just to figure out a fuse was bad that why I have you check those first.

Off just means there are no codes, does the light come on with the key "on" engine not running?

Of course it should light up with the key on. I would test the output wire on the ECM using this guide to see if it is a computer problem or a connection issue.

Check for any change in the computer data lines headed into the instrument cluster. It could be a logic issue with the cluster. I would try to unplug the cluster and then reconnected it to see if it is just a bad connection as well.
