A little help please. How do I activate the release of the engine hinge? The cable pulls and has tension, but will not disengage the latch release. I have gone through my service manuals here, but none of them tell you how to get in if the lid latch won't release. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Some guidance from the more knowledgeable group here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) This can't be the first time this has happened. |

With trunk open, from inside of trunk push down on engine lid and push small tab on left side of latch to the right with a screwdriver. Just tried it on mine and it worked without pulling inside knob. Yours might need a bit of lube first ti free it up a little.

I was back into let you know thanks to all for assistance. We all know what's next on my to-do list, latch refresh. |
