I think we do have a sensor- swear I saw a hood pin push switch last I popped her open.

Look to the left for a push-pin switch with a rubber cover on it.

I know people have travelled without hoods on, so why didn't their cars have problems?

The switch is only on the '03 models.

Figure out of the switch is closed or open when the button is pushed. If closed, remove the sensor and tie the wire to ground. If open, remove the sensor and leave the connector open.
