2004 E-500
I have a 2004 E-500 with 49,000 miles in great condition. The "hood open" light continues to illuminate due to the fact that microswitch keeps coming loose.

If I remove the power plug from the switch will the light go out or stay on continually?

Fix it properly instead of rigging something to make the light go off.

Hey, I'm an open book. I live in a rural area and will not have an opportunity to get the vehicle to dealer for a month or so. In the meantime the thing is driving me nuts.
Red light coming on each time I take my foot off the brake. I would change it out myself but had it replaced six months ago and the dealer is offering to repair free. Thus the question for unplugging for the short term.
