Standard Ignition Hood Ajar Indicator Switch P/N:AW-1063
Keep your security system and dash warning honest with the Standard Ignition Hood Ajar Indicator Switch AW-1056. This switch senses whether the hood is open or closed and signals the vehicle's indicator/alarm circuit accordingly. It installs as a direct-fit OE replacement on the 2001-2007 Ford Escape and the 2007 Mercury Mariner — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Signs the original switch may need replacing include a hood-ajar warning that stays on with the hood shut, a warning that never triggers when the hood is open, or a security system that misreads hood position. If a failed hood ajar switch is the cause, this replaces it — diagnose the circuit first, since wiring or the body module can produce similar symptoms.
