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. |

The part on the lid that latches can be adjusted. It’s probably not aligned with the receiver (or it’s worn and needs replacing). Easy fix.
