I'm not sure if the two are connected or not. Have you checked your fuses? The under the hood light could be as simple as the previous owner unplugged it. Did it work before? When I got my '97 my light didn't work. It turns out the previous owner had unplugged it which is fairly common for people that show the car. I plugged it back in and it still didn't work. I had to clean the connector with a small wire brush and some alcohol and that did the trick, it has been fine ever since. It could of course just be the bulb as well. A little more detail maybe?
