Find the hood pin switch under the hood, they tend to corrode over time and do not provide a good ground.

Try lifting gently and rotating it to clean it up a bit, or remove it and clean it.

You can also pull the wire off the bottom of it and touch it to ground, but the switch it a saftey device and should

be repaired.

Thanks!!!! that worked. I need wiring directions so if I wanted to change this unit to a different vechile I could and also the book says some features have to be programmed by a professional installer. Where can you get these instructions? Any help would be appreciated.

you should use a mercury switch instead of a hood pin as well. they rarely go bad
