Just installed my front hood. The release cable works well, but it does not retract on its own (you have to manually push it back). Is this how it is supposed to operate? I found a rogue spring in the front trunk a while ago and I am wondering if it came out of the latch mechanism.

Thanks,

Bob

There is suppose to be a little, but somewhat strong, spring inside the latch assembly. . It helps the handle and cable return but it's not uncommon to need to help it by pushing the handle back in.
