2017 1500 electrical...?

xkvator · February 24, 2018

yesterday, after getting on the Ohio Turnpike, and driving about 10 miles, I get a message "HOOD OPEN"...dismissed it 3 times, then it did not come on again.

I can see that it's not open, but I pulled into the service plaza, opened and shut it, and was ok for the next hundred miles to home.

unloaded my truck in the driveway...went into house, and a couple minutes later, the horn started blowing...clicked lock, and it stopped, then did it again 2 more times...went out and started the truck, shut it off, and used the lock on the door, and it was ok...didn't do it again

but, I noticed the sensor on the dash not blinking as usual...blinking erratic, or staying on for a couple seconds.

Check the hood latch sensor replace if needed.

Warranty. Sounds like a bad hood latch.

Oh man, this may be the truck that fell off the car hauler when moving it from the factory to the dealership....maybe the hood sensor is the only thing that they did not get fixed? You are probably Golden, do not worry about it man.

I can understand the hood latch sensor nedding replaced/adjusted, but the horn blowing, and sensor on the dash staying lit, too would lead me to believe theres something else wrong...possibly a ground...that all are connected to...

I waited in the truck, when I took wife to store yesterday, and locked doors with key fob, but couldn't unlock with door control...

another thing I notice, is the dash lights get brighter for a second, once in awhile, even though I have the light switch set to ON, and not AUTO

taking it in to the dealer when I get back to ohio, next week...

I never think about it at the time, but im going to video it today
