hood latch... circuit GND
The latch sensor use nicely sealed micro switches that should last a good longtime...
This cast the doubts back on the 2x separate GND posts, likely up for maintenance.
Locate sensor GND posts: W15/5; W16/3
When these GND inputs go missing, the F-SAM gets an "open hood" signal.
Other circuits sharing these GND experience random disruption in their own ways.

reference GND locations
Now you W213 guys just got handed the perfect quick fix thanks to @konigstiger
Anyhow, hands-on time to test faults never goes out of fashion.
