I have a 1995 Mercedez C220 and went to get it smog checked in Santa Maria, CA today. They said everything passed fine except that the "check engine" indicator bulb was burned out. Every now and then on rare occassions out of the blue it would flicker on for a few second. Whae I turn the key on, all of the indicator bulbs come on except thet "check engine" bulb.

Can anyone tell me how to change that particular bulb? They said it will pass the smog test if I get that bulb fixed.

You need to take the steering wheel off first, and now you can get the cluster to pull out, you will need some kind of a hook tool, thin enough to squeezz between the cluster and the dash padding, hook it and pull it out, just look for the bulb behind the check engine square and to replace it it turns a quarter turn counter clockwise and pull out.
