Solved. Removed passenger side head lamp assembly and there was a two-wire lead reaching in (forwards) towards the hidden hood latch. I scratched about an inch off both wires and twisted them together. No smoke came out and the warning is gone.

Hi. I started a thread on this topic two years ago, but never hot time to resolve the issue. Hood open warning on 100% of the time. Ok, so accordong to all the info I can find, the sensor/switch is on the driver's (left) side. But no - it is on the right side. I've seen threads where both are firmly attested to. Yikes. And a helpfull video shows the wires exiting the left latch right above the rad. Right. On my car you cant slide a piece of paper in there, let alone see anything. Today I removed the left headlamp assembly and poked around. Right between the lamp space and the hood latch there is a black plastic cover about the size of your hand. I got that out of the way and (hopefully) looked inside. No wires I could see or touch. So ... either it is either on the left and I can't see or feel what I am looking for, or the dang sensor is on the right side. So - attack the right side? (Jeepers, give me back my 1980 245 DL)

Sooo... Since I've had this money pit, I've had an issue with it seeming like the transmission slips on certain gradient inclines and recently felt it going down a hill as well. I basically have to feather the accelerator when this happens until it clicks into gear. I pretty much know exactly when it will do it as I travel the same routes alot. My driveway is steep as sh*t and no issues going up it. I know the tranny is made out of glass and elmers glue, but I have no issues with gear changes otherwise. I drive mostly in geartronic because I'm under the impression it uses a higher line pressure. Trans was drain and filled multiple times a few months ago with some Lucas transmission conditioner and a shift kit thrown in to boot. No CEL's or codes in VIDA. Someone mentioned similar issues with the uphill thing and it was a faulty brake position sensor. But I'm not having any issues with cruise control. Before I fork out for a new sensor, does anyone have any ideas?

Got Tint and back to blacked the trim. Have probably put a couple thousand miles on it now driving to and from work, hauling bags of mulch, sand, rock, whatever else for landscape projects.

Bought a 2002 V70 from Tech.

Bump. How do I become a "Lifetime Supporter"? Or is it reserved only for the whites?

Happy upcoming holidays to everyone still kicking around.
