I can pass a wire from inside the hood to connect near door connector, but it is a
bad way to do it, i guess the door wire is passing somewhere near the firewall anyway,
The door open presence should be a "normaly open" switch,..connecting another N-O switch
for the hood is a good idea,..no?
No. You need a normally closed pin switch. Its open when the hood is shut and makes contact when the hood is open. Wiring it in parallel with the rear pin switch would work. I used to get all my pin switches from the car stereo shops. They usually carry car alarms and accessories for them.
Hood locks are for pussies. Just hook up a train horn to the alarm. Once that hood opens they'll have no choice but to go home and change their underwear.
And get their ears checked.

Is this a factory alarm or aftermarket? I would go back to the rear pin switch and check the wire color. Then find out where it meets up in the dash area and run a wire tap from there to the hood pin switch.
it will be tough to give you a wiring diagram without knowing which car alarm you have. You need a specific model number so you can get the correct module. Then it is just plug and play. Most hoods use a popper switch. It looks like this.
