Diagram Ref No 22
What This Product Does:
- The switch is mounted in the hood latch area or hood hinge/lock assembly and serves to detect the position of the bonnet: closed or open. When the hood is closed properly, the switch is actuated (pressed) and sends a signal (to the vehicle’s body control module, instrument cluster, alarm system, etc).
- Its roles include enabling or disabling warning lights (e.g., “Hood open” indicator), interfacing with the alarm/immobiliser system (to detect unauthorised opening), or controlling internal functions like interior lighting, fusebox cover, etc.
- A correctly functioning micro-switch ensures that the vehicle knows the hood’s state, enabling proper safety, alarm and signalling behaviour.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- The instrument cluster shows a persistent “Hood open” warning when the bonnet is actually closed (false open indication).
- The hood needs to be slammed or adjusted so that it stops the warning light — meaning the switch may not be actuating correctly when the bonnet is closed.
- Alarm/door-lock systems behave incorrectly or trigger incorrectly due to hood-open signal malfunction (for example, alarm triggering when hood is closed).
- Physical damage to the switch: broken housing, corroded contacts, bent actuator plunger, or the part is worn, intermittent or stuck.
- During bonnet latch replacement, hinge repair or following an accident, the switch may have been damaged, mis-aligned or disconnected.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Safety & functionality: Because the hood-open signal is linked to vehicle safety systems (alarm, immobiliser, interior lights), a faulty switch can lead to wrong warnings, false alarms or safety system issues.
- Proper alarm/immobiliser operation: A working bonnet switch helps the vehicle detect unauthorised access under the hood — essential for security.
- Accurate indication: You want the “hood closed/open” indication to be correct — if not, you may drive with the bonnet not properly secured or you may ignore warnings thinking they’re false.
