oh man oh man. ROFLMAO. I can't wait until I change my own for the first time. They install like a light bulb, because they burn out like a light bulb.....
Pull drivers side under dash (3 phillips screws), unhook your OBDII connector, reach up under there and disconnect 2 wires, push in locking clip, turn clockwise and pull out. Install in reverse order. New switch will self adjust, just pull it out all the way. Depress brake pedal during install makes it a bit easier. Have fun.....

They can be intermittent but will eventually fail completely. Had this problem with my E Class, never yet with my ML
