Hello and  welcome5

Look under the bonnet hinge L/H battery side you will need to remove the bulkhead tray to access

That sounds like you've been on general Ford forums where bonnet switch faults are common. The Galaxy is a rebadged VW car and there switches very rarely fail - mich more likely the interior sensors (top of B pillars) are faulty or picking up air movement inside the cabin
