If you want a 2-minute fix simply bare the wires before they go into the switch and join them together then cover with electrical tape. The last two nights have been lovely being able to lock my car in silence😊
The ones disabling the hood switch I would suggest replacing it eventually as I had Nissan that the hood did not fully closed and swung open going up a ramp going up onto the interstate. Had to replaced the hood, windshield, and repair damage done to top of my Nissan when hood swung open.
After watching this video i took my bracket off unclipped the sensor, drilled a hole through the side of the sensor . i then screwed a screw through the bottom of the metal spring pinning it down onto the switch, therefor basically disabling it totally . until if i decide to get a new part as having the bonnet hooked up to the alarm dont bother me so ill just leave it screwed down and disabled . its a 5 min job if you want to disable it , you could even just screw through the plastic guessing the height to pin the switch down if u wished . and now my alarm dosn't go off in the slightest bit of wind yay ;)
Thanks so was the bonnet open signal gone after that? since your video ended without showing if it was still there. I have the same issue with my LandRover Discovery 3, the car alarm randomly goes off at night so i think i need a sensor replacement & also to fix the clip as you just showed.
You can also just put a paper-clip into the connector with the 2 wires, to short it out, tape it up and never have to worry about it again as the computer will think hood is always closed. Quickie fix for free!
Question: we have a 2011 Range Rover Sport. But on the passenger side, we do not have a fluid bottle w yellow cap -like you do. Do your instructions still apply to our car?
Why didn’t you just remove the grill ? You took the top part off ,all you had to do is pull out the bottom and it comes off easy. You would have had much more room.
Apparently you knew ahead of time what the failure was so why not have the parts ready and install them in the video. Doing double duty and twice the work is not cost or time affective.
soroilo2003 Cool i figured it would i might just need a new latch since my hood bonnet does raise up about 1/4 of an inch. you reminded of me with my daughter always a helping hand when she was younger. Now as a teen its rare. Enjoy your kids when theyre young. Thanks for the reply brother.👍🏼
