Hood Latch Sensor Location?? Show Join Date: Aug 2008 Posts: 17 I got in my car last week and the dash said my hood was open. I got out and and checked to make sure it was latched which it was. Has anyone had a problem with the sensor being faulty? If so where is it located and is it easy to replace? The bigger issue is now my alarm goes off randomly throughout the day becuase the alarm system thinks the hood is open when it is actually not. 2002 A4 1.8T Thanks for any help.

coming up between the fans and going to a switch on the left side of the latch. When the switch is closed (your hood is closed) the signal to the alarm is open and when the switch is open (hood opened) the signal to the switch is closed.
