Getting a hood open indication. Hood is closed, opened and closed and pulled to be sure both latches engaged. where is the sensor itself? Do I have to remove the latch to replace it?
What makes this problem better or worse?
nothing
How long has your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 had this problem?
Yes there is a sensor. On the Mercedes it's normally part of the driver side latch. It's easy to get to. Open the hood and there should be 2 10mm bolts holding it down.
