does anybody know why my 03' track model has a hood sensor unit on the right side of the engine bay. i have my hood off curently and was test driving last night. theres no warning light on the dash or anything so why is it there? seems like a waste to me

 

Maybe it never did anything. The '04s do not have the sensor and I assume the 05s are the same way.

 

yeah thats my impression.

If i had a owners manual i would look it up in that.

Im prolly just going to take the dayum thing out.

 

You can get an '03 service manual from:

Well, I don't believe it would give you warning. But it does function on my car because I have a compustar alarm and the installer used that sensor to trigger off the alarm if the hood is open.

 

well besides that function^^^^ i dont see any use for it.

 

interesting, so nothing lights up on your dash, huh?
i have '05 and i dont have the sensor....

 

nope nothing at all.

The car didnt run funny or anything. So im considering it pointless i guess.

Im just going to take it out.

The only reason i even noticed it is because i got the SS bolt kit from performance nissan. And in the kit is the bolts to that braket that has the Sensor.
