How do i reset the service light?
I was wondering if i could get help on how to reset the service lights on a 98' clk and 98' ml. I saw mbtech208 talk about it in some post but i cant seem to find it anywhere (used search)! on the ML it says -1500 and a wrench symbol next to it!? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info, but the link does not work. I also tried the instructions a few times and also with #1 with the ignition in position two.
Please provide the link and if anyone else can help as well.
Thanks.
This is what I tried also,:
turn ignition key to position 2
press reset button twice within 4 seconds
turn ignition back to pos 1
press and hold the reset button
turn ignition to pos 2
keep pressing the reset button until buzzer sounds and new miles display appears

Completed - Thanks!!!
I found this on the net and it worked.
Turn the electronic key in steering lock to position 2. To call up the trip odometer and main odometer, press button 3 or 4 on the multifunction steering wheel until the display appears.
Press button 5 or 6 until the FSS indicator appears.
Press button 'R' on the instrument cluster for approximately 2 seconds.
The multifunction display will show the question:
'DO YOU WANT TO RESET SERVICE INTERVAL? - CONFIRM BY PRESSING R'
Press button 'R' on the instrument cluster again, and hold until a signal sounds. The message 'SERVICE INTERVAL HAS BEEN RESET' appears in the multifunction display.
The new service indicator is displayed with the reset distance of 10,000 miles (Canada 15,000 km).

I can't express how glad I am that the annoying message is "gone". All I have to do now is find a way to get the oil filter cover off so that I can do an oil change myself. I like doing my own oil changes because wherever I go, the technicians always put the drain plug back in when there is still a small flow of oill dripping. I like to pour another litre or 2 to flush the dirty oil out even further. I may be ****.
Anyone know where I can get that tool or what to use to get it off?-clk430
