Was difficult to open yesterday, but now won't budge!
Cable seems to be working fine - check
Forcefully pressing on hood while inside latch is opened and closed = nothing - check
Using pry bar to force hood up while working inside latch = nothing - check
Saw "Sticky" on main page, but as I look through grill on right side ('98 base model) there is some sort of metal housing/obstruction (from factory) which does not allow me access to manual lever also cannot reach from below as there is some sort of plastic shroud
I CAN peer through tiny crack between hood and top of grill...but cannot see or reach manual latch?
I must be doing something wrong or there has to be an other way?!
