makes no sense - the security sensor has nothing to do with the latch per se and adjusting the hood position

That’s what i thought. Hood latches at 1st catch. When pushed further, just pops up. Perhaps its the latch failing

It's normally the pull cable sticking. I spent ages dripping light oil down the cable and working it to get mine to close.

Replaced cable about a year ago. Pulls nicely. Perhaps adjustment is needed?

Ill dive into. This weekend was taken up with new Struts and shocks. Big difference in ride now.

Will check them out. Thanks for the lead. The hood prop is terrible

These were the first mod I did back in 2011 where I had to drill a hole in my Jeep! Definitely worth it based on the number of times I have worked under the hood since then.
