85 lights under the hood
Well i have not even looked into this problem yet. Because i dont know if i want the lights to work.
But so far after opening the hood many times i noticed the lights dont go on.
Is there a switch ? When should they go on ?
What should i look for ?

It's not what you asked, but do you really want them to work?
I have removed mine because I like to leave the hood open for extended periods when working on the engine area. There really should have been a simple switch to turn them off but there isn't. You can clamp the hood switch closed to turn them off when the hood is open, but that is a hassle. In the end, the best solution for me has been to take them out.

Dan, follow the wires from hood light down into the front corners of engine bay. There is a connector for each light, they may be unplugged.

and check the mercury switch it will pop out, looks similiar to a bullet (kind of) clean the ends and reinstall. Both caused the lights to not illuminate on mine when the hood was opened.Bob
