Hood Ajar Switch



HOOD AJAR SWITCH





The hood ajar switch is attached to the bottom of the right hand hood latch. The hood ajar switch consists of a microswitch operated by a leaf spring which bears on the latch cam. When the hood latch opens, the latch cam presses on the leaf spring, which closes the microswitch to connect a ground to the CJB.
