I have searched previous forums and the tips in them don't answer the problem. I pulled the hood release and the cable released it, but the hood will not pop up so the secondary release can be reached. If you press down on the hood, it has some travel indicating it is not latched, I just cannot get it any higher.

Thankfully I don't need to get it open today. Tomorrow would be nice though.

Took it to the dealer and he had to hit it about 5 times witht the heel of his hand to get it to pop up. Sprayed it down good and it is working again.
