Hood latch problem
Hey, I'm trying to fix all my little problems and i just figured I would put this one up. When I unlock my hood latch, it doesnt come back out, and without it out all that keeps my hood closed is the safety, and I dont trust that. I can get the latch to "lock" again (not sure on the right terminology) but I gotta beat on a bolt next to the latch with a hammer, which makes vibrations which cause the latch to come out. I already took it out and soaked it in WD-40, that did nothing, anymore ideas? Should I just try to find a new one? If so, where should I go and how hard will it be to replace? Thanx in advance :frog:

Your question is really confusing... Are you saying that when you pull on the hood-release, it doesn't actually release the hood?
If that's the case, open up your hood, and look at the bottom latch (by the radiator). You will see 2 bolts (10mm I think). If you loosen these bolts, you can move the lower latch around inside the hole a little bit. Then re-tighten the bolts and see how the hood matches up... After a couple trys, you should be able to get it right.

Worse comes to worse you could go to a junkyard and get another one.

OK, I understand now...
Have you tried any lube? Like some WD-40 or something... could be a bad cable also... might wanna pick up a whole new one at the JY.
