Hood ajar switch on sebring - Cars & Trucks

more then likely it's a door ajar switch - not a sensor .
Anti-Theft- Perimeter Alarm System
The perimeter anti-theft system provides for vehicle security through an audible and visual notification if the vehicle's exterior is invaded without the system being shut off. The system self-arms when the doors, liftgate and hood are closed and the key is OFF. Any open door, hood or liftgate will prevent the system from arming. The hood ajar switch, door ajar switches and liftgate ajar switch cause these circuits to register as normally closed circuits. The vehicle security module monitors the status of the hood ajar, door ajar and liftgate ajar switches. If these circuits indicate an open entry point, the switch opens the circuit to the vehicle security module, which energizes the horn and autolamp relays (causing the horn to sound and the lights to flash). The vehicle security module turns off the anti-theft system when it receives a command through the keyless entry keypad, remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter, or anti-theft alarm inhibit switch.

The factory hood ajar switch is integrated into the factory hood latch.
It is a 3 wire connector with Pink/Black (A), Purple (B), and Black (C) wires in it.
Wires A and B are signal wires from the BCM, Wire C is the ground.

The Grand Cherokee has a warning display. The low washer fluid warning is a blinking windshield on the outline of the jeep in the center console display. It is confusing and could be easily falsely interpreted as a hood ajar warning. Fill the window washer and srr if warning goes away.

look for the switch , on the total rim, it has 2 wires.

the fsm is free.

says
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY/HOOD AJAR SWITCH -
DESCRIPTION).
says on export only, non usa?
my guess is the hood lamp switch does double duty
got that lamp, its at left hinge
it is and OPTION.

the book shows the connector
but the schematic skips this, on the export model.

are you in usa, or in canada? or where?>
them make this car for many countries, and variances vast.

Some of the sensors are going bad or are too sensitive. A motion sensor or lock sensor can be intermittently setting it off. Do you have access to a scan tool ?

Either a bad switch or bad ground. Find switch and see if you have power there.

no the hood switch say it is

try scanning the PCM and seening that same error

then fix that.

factory remote starts are very strick, do to the obvious nature

of starting and unoccupied car and the death and mayhem.

it has a logic tree, that saves you from yourself\'

and 1zillion lawsuits.

look for Hood ajar switch and wiring and ground of the switch
hope it help

it means your trunk lid is ajar or open..switch in trunk latch may be faulty if latch is closed properly

The door latch has a switch built into it to replace the old door jamb switch. If the switch is faulty the system will think the door is ajar. A scanner will show an open switch.

YOU SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY.
