This damn hood ajar

[Grsemky]

I'm sure a few of you have experienced this issue, where the hood ajar warning chimes with the hood latched securely. I work on electronics for a living so I verified continuity (switch is fine) and a jumper just to test...

NADA

The error is still present😮‍💨. I removed power and then crossed leads to discharge any capacitors without any success. My next step I guess is a new battery but I don't seen to have any other battery related issues..

Somebody just tell me I won't need a BCM, those things are expensive😤

Bump

I’ve fixed this very issue on several Fiestas, the always works method is strip 1/4” of the wires about an inch back, twist and solder. I put an OEM latch on my ST and have been GTG. Of course ymmv.

I would agree typically but the switch has proven tested in working order, I still created a jumper between the lines just in case but no such luck... The pop up interupts my music is so annoying lol

New battery also didn't solve the issue, though now I have a light lithium battery😩

Did you test continuity for the entire circuit? Where does it terminate?

I haven't found a schematic that shows it's trace yet, it disappears into the loom...

Maybe I'll spend the time this weekend and open the loom 🤷🏼‍♂️

Im new to the ST, but Id assume there's a plug that goes to whatever module. Probably don't need to open up the loom. I'd try to find that schematic of I were you

sucks to hear you're still having this issue... good luck

Hope this helps
