The "Hood Open' warning has popped up this morning after I checked the fluid levels.

I've searched for a cure, but all of the previous threads dealt with semantics concerning hood and bonnet.

The warning clearly shows it is the hood/bonnet and not the hood/roof. Just to be sure, I cycled the hood/roof and the warning persists.

The hood/bonnet was securely closed several times since the warning appeared and several times of turning the car off and on.

I had the hood/bonnet up yesterday for the first time in a while and there was no warning when I closed it.

Thanks
As I posted to Jag-Laddie, I worked a screwdriver around the metal coil and also used contact cleaner on the micro-switch and all is good.

Cheers

Well huh? The thread seems to have disappeared. Same solution by JaguarLaddie, but I recall a comment from Q&C on the title “bonner”.

 

Yes, something strange happened to this thread! I finished up on the XK8 forum! don't know how; wanted to say "had same problem. It was a wiring failure"

Cheers, Adrian!
