chillincarp870 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hey guy i have a 96 single cab ford ranger. I can't open the hood. When i pull the lever it feels like it just keeps pulling. Any suggestions?? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 You can spray some lube through the grill on the latch, or you can get on the lever on the latch with a screw driver to release the latch.Once you do get it open, lube it good and work it free before c,losing it.

Jeremy airjer W Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 If you can hear the latch moving (under the hood) your still in good shape. Have somebody pound/pull/push/lift on the hood until it pops.If you cant hear it than you'll have to get creative with screwdrivers/picks. All you need to do is get the lever that the cable pulls on to move towards the spot where the cable mounts to the latch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shack Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yep you can try the Fonz approach with a good bang to the hood while the release handle is pulled. If not like said above and go threw the grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
