Bonnet Sensor

[barnaby96]

Hi,

I have read many posts....does anyone know how to disengage the bonnet sensor on a 1996 rover 4.0? if i unplug it, will it stop beeping when i hit a bump? The bonnet is closed but get an annoying beep plus digital message on the slightest bump. Thanks, barnaby

Welcome to the forum.... is this for a range rover or a discovery?

its a 1996 range rover 4.0. i can reach the sensor but could unclip it.
i sprayed it with contact cleaner...does it clip in like the other electronic
connectors? i would be happy to leave it unplugged as long as the beeping
and message light go away

don't recall how to disconnect off the top of my head, but it should just be a clip...

Sounds like you know how to get to the sensor. Replacing it is very easy. Altho the sensor has a two wires when the bonnet is closed the purple/white wire goes open
when closed the purple/white touches the black wire. Could leave it unpluged and see if
the indicator goes out.
