"Hood Open" Malfunction 2004 CLK500
Has anyone experienced any issues with their hood latch sensors? My car is giving me a malfunction message saying "Hood Open" when it's most definitely secured. One of the loops that the latching mechanism attaches to has MAYBE 1mm of play, but I can't see how it would trigger any kind of sensor. The loop I'm referring to is the one on the actual hood on the driver's side. Any ideas?

Was able to figure out the problem. The small arm wasn't depressing the switch when the hood closed, so I bent that arm in such a way that it would put more pressure on the switch when i closed the hood. Haven't seen the malfunction come up since.
