The hood latch sensor on the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox is located just under the lip of the hood itself, near the latch. If You're getting the message that the hood is open (that light coming on and the irritating beep), You can clear it using the instrument panel buttons, but this isn't a fix. Normally, You can get this just driving in the rain, as that can cause a short as water gets under. But, for this particular model year, there's additionally an actual service bulletin dealing with it from GM, #PIT5176B. So, if You're constantly seeing the Hood Ajar Message, take it in to Your local dealership to get them to fix it under this warranty repair.
