This is a Compass, I found the hood switch, but not going to unhook unless I know it won't affect anything else. I emailed the guy that has the plug in thing, but it is just for Grand C, so, waiting to see if he has something for the Compass. If it has remote start, that function will no longer work if it thinks the hood is open.

Will the wipers work correctly if the hood switch is disabled?
When I had a hiccup with the hood switch on my Mercedes the wipers didn't function properly. The'd only work with the car at speed and the wiper speed was not adjustable.

Security systems will be disabled as well on most systems with a hood switch. I would not be concerned with the safety systems like airbags or any other SRS belt functions because most of those systems are on a separate buss. I would think that a simple push of a button when you start the car wouldn't be that unreasonable Gus

Every time you get in your car, start the engine, and then you have to push another button, every single time you drive. It gets old. Oh, and another stupid part of the function, when you pull in to a parking spot, the engine dies, and then when you put it in park, the engine starts up again. The starter, and battery have to be over worked with stuff.

Another reason I stick to pre-2005 Grand Cherokees with the 4.0.....simple and no touch screens or fancy electronics stuff. I would like side airbags though.

A lot of cars with this feature are either using a second electric motor or a different starter that is a permanent magnet, high cycle motor. So wear and tear on starter should be a non issue. Also, as mentioned, I think some cars have dual batteries. I know thought I heard that there is a push to go to 24V and/or 48V electrical systems on cars due to amount of electronics.

Took me all of thirty seconds to get used to it. Now I sort of like it, as it’s a sort of simple, yet elegant piece of engineering. Exactly. It is there to save fuel and emissions, take advantage of it. I do not have Start/Stop but if I'm at a train crossing or stopped to pick somebody up. I turn my engine OFF.
