Hi team. Sorry to bother. Had the classic bonnet sensor failure on my 13 plate FL2.

I’ve shorted the sensor with a paper clip, and then electrical taped it. Will I be ok to drive it like this whilst I wait a few days to get it fixed?

Great idea only waited 2 yrs will fit a new one soon0

My paper clip has been in for over 6yrs, you should be ok

Haha brilliant. Thanks!

I actually replace the switch, vice paperclip but that's for my wife's benefit. If it were just me the paper clip would be fine.

Growing up we never had hood sensors, the backup latch worked just fine.

Hi...... can anyone direct me to the post on how to do the "paper clip" override?? Thanjks... Tony
