Hood is closed but it is blinking on the cluster anyone know if there's a pin or something? I opened and closed a few times but still blinking.

Maybe its the hoodline blink?

On a serious note theres a sensor that is probably broken. Dont remember where it was tho.

Its built in into hood latch. If the light stays on it means circut is closed (closed loop) so either way you need to clean it up with some electric cleaner or replace the latch, or cut one of the wires to trick the alarm, but then it will think that the hood is closed all the time.

Thanks are the wires/connector under the hood latch because I didn't see any.

With a light you can see the wires coming up between the fans and going to a switch on the left side of the latch. When the switch is closed (your hood is closed) the signal to the alarm is open and when the switch is open (hood opened) the signal to the switch is closed.
