Parking on a hill, bracket is bent, ... it's a tilt switch. REAL basic. You can figure it out.
Or, just unplug it and move on, since it about as useless as **** on a chicken, anyway.

I had same problem on an 1980's Mercury Capri. the under hood light stayed on after hood closed. Just disconnected it. Problem solved
