How to fix/reconnect check engine light???

OK - we've established that the "Check Engine" on my '96 328i is not working, as it doesn't flash on before starting nor is it illuminated even though there is a searching idle and I pulled codes (I'm thinking its a MAF sensor issue, but that's another story - I'm still going to try RedLine/Techron and premium petrol).

SO... are there any common failures of this "check engine" indicator lamp?

All of my other indicator lamps are functional, so I'm betting it's not as simple as a fuse/relay.

If so - any suggestions on how I might get to the lamp & wiring? Does the entire dash have to be pulled off, or might I get to it from underneath?

Again, I'm a newb when it comes to BMWs and common problems/issues - and this may not be a common problem, but any and all ideas will help. Thanks, and have a good night!
