Hello there, great video. My car is a 2006 Mercedes Benz ML350 and one day appears the Hood Open alarm while I m driving. So, thanks to you, I followed your instructions but still happens. I bought a new original part, I replaced and still have the problem. Any suggestions?

Nice video clip. But doesn help me. Mine is W221 2010 and it has a different Micro Switch in the hood latch. The switch clicks when pushed. I tried to pernamently block it, but still "open hood" message. I couldn't not find the switch part number in EPC. Did you come accross this micro switch? Cheers

[@chrisgrego7359]

Cut the two wires to the switch and join them the car thinks the switch is pressed. Jobs a good un

[@andrenewell6695]

I have a 2004 mercedes e320..... the big red hood open light just randomly came on one night driving home. I checked the hood latches and the one thats holding the sensor switch is shaking around inside the latch?

[@andrzej5484]

in my case, in the Mercedes W221, there is no message that the hood is open, only on one side it does not close, what could be the reason?

[@noelazaro7228]

Thanks 🙏

Would this work for a w230?

[@piro0k]

Thanks a lot

[@VictorIwuala-pg4yx]

Is there any way we can disconnect it and the noise will stop

[@SlawKingOG]

yeah how to bypass. I have the same question.

[@entertainmenthub00196]

Hi thank you for this video. Well I have a GLK 350 2013 model and got the hood open displayed on my dashboard for some time now. Have replaced the hood sensor but still doesn’t stop displaying at the dashboard. What else can I possibly do

[@YOUCANIC]

If you have a good scanner you can look at the values from the hood switches to see what the computer is seeing.

[@YOUCANIC]

Hood switches should show either under front sam or instrument cluster live data.

[@KostasGreek]

Will this problem keep the windshield wipers from working?

[@YOUCANIC]

Yes it will. Mercedes wipers don't work when the car thinks you have the hood open.

[@samar19925]

@@YOUCANIC mine working c200d 2017...I will check the sensor thanks man

[@hrznhomes]

@@YOUCANIC Hi sir i have a 2009 ML 350, i wrapped a rubber band around the middle of the switch so it’s constantly holding the metal strip down. However its still going off when I drive, any suggestions?

[@Nathan-vw9du]

Likely to be same fix for an A class?

[@tomwilson5808]

I need the actual harness that the sensor connects to? Can anyone provide any insight?
