Hood Open Warning When Hood is Closed
I keep getting the "hood open" warning when it is completely closed on my 2010 GLK. I have opened and closed it so many times with plenty of force and I still get the same message.
Could it be something with the sensors? I noticed the driver side sensor had some tape on it. I don't know what else to do.
This randomly started after I got my battery and alternator checked at a local Advance Auto Parts.
Thanks

The tape has been there for a while and never caused any problems. I was with the employee checking the battery at the shop the whole time, he did not mess with any of the hood sensors. He closed the hood like any normal person and from that point on I kept getting the "hood open" message and could not find a fix for it. I have now ended up taking my GLK to a local automotive shop so that the problem could be fixed. I appreciate your reply!
