I'm guessing there is a switch somewhere under the hood that can tell if the hood is closed or not.

Where is that switch?

If the switch is busted. You can just connect the wires. If you don't want to replace and realign the latch. Easy and simple. No it's not proper. But it works. Switch is in the latch. Wires come out the bottom and go driver.

... None :S
If it's like the NMS, the switch is normally open and the hood opening closes it... IE you can just unplug the switch if it's failed.
