Sounds simple.. right? Watch this! The car is 1992 190E 2.6 .automatic transmission. I am attempting to change the burned out bulb in the shift gate. I have removed the wood panel, and unplugged all the switches. I am looking at the top of a black plastic box at least an inch thick, with the shift detent, and lever on top. Down deeper, (in my now open console) at least 6 inches deeper, at the base of this black plastic box, are 4 zinc colored bolt heads that seems to securing this box to the shift linkage. Question , how to open this box??....pry?.....pry where to open without breaking the 2 ears rearward, or the 2 ears with slots on front, and left. The top 1 inch seems, to be separate from the rest but won't budge! "Mercedes Engineering" would not have you disconnect the console shift linkage, to change a lite bulb.!!??.......right??
