In the 2012 Ford Focus, the hood sensor is located under the hood latch on the passenger side, which is the left side of the hood latch. Some owners have experienced an issue where the hood warning light comes on even when the hood is closed. This problem is often due to a faulty connection on the hood latch switch. If the light doesn't turn off on its own, it's recommended to bring the vehicle to the dealership. It's likely that the hood latch switch will need to be replaced. The average cost for this repair is typically between $150 and $160, including labor, but prices may vary depending on the location where you have it serviced.
My car keeps showing the 'hood open' message on the dashboard even though the hood is securely closed. This issue is triggering the car alarm when I lock the vehicle. Do you have any suggestions or solutions for this problem?
The sensor can be found at the front of the car, positioned to the left of the hood latch when the hood is opened.
