Just upgraded the FMIC on my MKZ with the UP FMIC, along with few other minor mods, for an HPDE track day with the local Porsche Club. Devin's posts detailing his install were a tremendous help. However, I now have a constant "hood ajar" warning and light. Any thoughts on a possible direction to look at to correct the warning? Turns out a "hood ajar" warning also disables remote lock/unlock and remote start.
On a side note, after upgrading my MKZ with the aforementioned UP FMIC, along with 255/40 P Zeros on OZ Racing 19X8.5 rims, EBC brake rotors with EBC Yellowstuff brake pads, and a strut tower brace, I was able to keep up with (and occasionally pass) various Porsches during a recent HPDE track day. Got a lot of comments along the lines of "You're taking THAT on the track??" and "Let me guess... massaging seats?"
