This is just a quick video and explanation on how I was able to solve the problem of the alarm going off on our 2017 ACURA MDX SH AWD randomly and bothering my neighbors. In our case, it was a faulty hood latch sensor. It's a very easy DIY repair and might save you a lot of headache and frustration. Many forums say that you can simply disconnect the sensor at the base of the latch, but this caused a parasitic draw on our vehicle and the battery died overnight. I ended up just disconnecting the negative battery cable to disable it completely until I was able to fix it. You might be able to bend the small metal arm of the sensor enough to fix it, but that may not last too long. In my case, I just figured it was worth replacing it with a new OEM latch so hopefully I won't have to deal with it again anytime soon. It might be a good idea to pick up some replacement plastic clips that hold the plastic engine cover in place as it's quite possible some of them will break when removing it.
Tools needed:
10mm socket and/or wrench
