Default Hood Latch Alarm

I've got a 2002 Accord Ex and i'm having that problem where the alarm goes off for no apprent reason.. I looked it up to see what could be causing the alarm to go off. Pretty much every where i looked it said most likely it was the Hood latch that was causing it to go off. So, i unhooked it wire but now when I arm my car and leave the windows open and when i pull on the lock to open the alarm doesnt go off. Makes me worried that the alarm no longer works?

Which wire exactly did you unhook? Also this should go in the audio section.

Hey when I first bought my 2002 coup se i had the same problem. I hadta disconnect the battery .
What you do is USE BRAKE CLEANER and clean the latch area under your hood and the surrounding areas. There is grime/oil/debris there so it acts as a conductor to the alarm and hence alamrm goes off throhought the night.

ONce i used Brake cleaner, it was alll fixed.
