| Hood Latch & Release Cable Problems
All of a sudden my hood release wouldn't work today, so I searched on the boards here to get an idea how to fix it. I figured out how to open it from under the car. But here's the thing...the cable had come completely loose from the latch. So I reattatched the cable to the metal clip at the bottom of the latch (at least I thought I did it right) but now when I close the hood, it doesn't latch down. And if I push down on it, it still wont. If I use a big screw driver to pusch down in the latch simulating the hood closing, it seems to work, but even with that when I pull the release something doesn't feel right.
So I obviously don't know what I am doing. Does any one have a good picture of the cable attatched to the latch correctly. Maybe I am try to put it in the wrong spot. I don't see any other way to do it though.
Also when I open it from under the car with a screw driver, something plastic fell in my face but I couldn't find it. The metal clamp is still on the end of the cable. Did I break something?
Please help me, I really need to turn this back into my daily driver.
Thanks
Mike | | | |
