The service manual pictures are a little deceiving as some of them are shown from the front, some are shown from the back and the only reason I know that the hood ajar switch uses that connector was that I hit a deer with my last car and had to replace my upper and lower radiator supports. The switch isn't to let you know your hood is up but rather to set off the alarm if the hood opens when the car is locked. They definitely had the ability to make a little dash light for our cars so it's a shame they didn't. Most certainly would have been a useful feature.
