New User - E70 Bonnet Alarm Switch Location?

Hey guys,

I'm a new 2007 X5 owner and member of this forum. I love the X5 but am working through a few minor issues. One is the alarm going off ~10 seconds after I hit the lock button. I am pretty sure its the bonnet sensor because I tried lock x2 to rule out the inside sensors; it still went off. Also tightened the hood a bit and it worked for a few days now going off again. When I lock, the red light under the review mirror blinks fast until the alarm goes off. The workaround is to wait for it to go off, and then quickly unlock / lock. That keeps it from going off until next time we use the vehicle.

I'd like to disconnect the hood alarm sensor, but cannot find it. For all comments and pictures on this issue, I haven't actually seen anyone ID where the switch is for a 2007 x5. I've scoured the engine compartment and internet, but don't see it.

Help!

Thanks,

Tom

PS> I am stationed overseas, so I don't have ready access to a shop. Would appreciate the help.
