Replace my intercooler last week and ever since then my car thinks that the hood is open when it’s not. I didn’t move the hood latch and rad support. I feel like i put it bac in the same spot. Any one have some info on this ?

Only way it will "think" the hood is open is if the hood button/switch on the drivers side upper rad support is unplugged. It just makes it so the remote start dosnt start the car with your fingers in the timing chain if the hood is open. Make sure its plugged in, i forgot to plug mine back in. It wouldnt have a light on the dash, my 15' dont.

Circled it in black from an old picture i had. Its just a little 2 pin plug i think, needed unplugged for my intercooler/intake work.

they're pretty fragile internally, I bumping mine installing a CAI and it stopped working. Luckily they're cheap.
