Odd CEL issue

Heres a bizzare one for you all, its certainly got me stumped!

When i turn on my ignition i get all of the dash lights coming on and doing their self test. All except the check engine light.

I removed the cluster thinking it could be a bad bulb and there was no bulb fitted at all, not only that the contacts for where the bulb goes have no marks on them at all almost as if there has never been a bulb fitted.

I have fitted a working tried and tested bulb, re installed the clocks and still the CEL does not come on and do the self test.

The car has no issues anyway as ive scanned it with two different fault code readers so im not too worried but it just annoys me that the cel doesnt seem to be working!

Any thoughts?

Also the car is a june 1999 boxster 2.5 manual. I assume all boxsters even early ones did have a functional cel?
