Help with lighting and hood errors?! DRIVING ME CRAZUY

thejonathanpaul · 02-23-2010, 04:47 PM

Ok my first error that wont go away is I purchased the car and it already had non oem projectos not sure of the brand but they also had a hid kit installed into them. They have a hid warning canceller but it not working any insight? Also my alarm keeps going off once locked and when I drive it says my hood is open any insigh on this as well? Thanks alot for all the help!

My advice, throw those aftermarket eBay crap headlamps you have on your car in the trash bin and retrofit OEM xenons.

As for the hood alarm, check the hood alarm actuator/sensor. Make sure its making good contact with the hood.

Couldn't really find it on REALOEM. Perhaps its listed under a different section...

Correct. Give that a go, but first you need to identify where the sensor is first of all
