There is a button located around the opening of the cars hood area that is pushed down when the hood is close, or around lock latch that is depressed when closed.
Try pulling the latch lever again. Sometimes, when the hood alignment isn't quite right, the latch will lock before the hood end gets in the right place. Otherwise your hood latch is misaligned or your cable is rusted and has the latch stuck open.
close hood and lift up on hood to see if it stays closed. if not, check inside car to see if latch(that you pull) is in the correct position. you can tell when hood is closed that there will be some tension on latch. check under hood, where hood closes on latch of hood, is tight and secure(no loose bolts) also check cable if broken. only those things can cause hood to pop open. if all visual inspections check out and still continues to open while driving then the latch (the mechanism that hold the hood down) is bad. vibrating while driving will cause it to open.
With the hood open have someone push the switch manually as if the hood is closed and see if the light goes out. If it does the switch is out of adjustment. Readjust the switch and you will be done. If it stays on when doing this you have to check the wiring for a pinched wire.
is the trunk light on all the time. or if there is a under the hood light. the switches maybe faulty staying on the on position even when closed? let me know
I have the same problem with my 2007 Impala, now the security system is starting to go off randomly. Does anyone know a easy fix, disconnecting the sensor did nothing, cleaning and lubricating the sensor did nothing either.
