Such a good feeling. We decided to pay ours off last year. Having zero debts is a nice feeling.

After leaving the dealer for an oil change the other day, a "Hood open" dash light came on. I checked and confirmed that the hood was closed. After some research, I learned that a hood sensor exists and that they easily get dust inside and trip/ fail.

I removed the rubber grommet and sprayed it extensively with a soapy water and compressed the plunger for a good minute to clear any debris. Let the Jeep sit for an hour, and turned it back on, same light came on. Has anyone had to exchange their faulty hood sensor? I am outside of the 3 year/36k warranty and don't think this will be covered, unless someone knows otherwise?
Thanks!

If sensor detects hood open your remote start will not work (safety feature?)

If sensor detects hood open your remote start will not work

That is correct. I learned that when my jeep was new. The next time someone asked to see the engine and wanted to hear it (the hood was up) I pushed the plunger to fool the computer so it would start. That worked. Once I let off the plunger the alarm went off and I had to shut it back down to get the alarm to stop.
