when you stick the screw driver in the hole, you are just hooking onto the end of the cable.
the cable comes from the drivers side and gets pulled towards the drivers side. Use the screw driver as a lever to move the latch as if you were pulling the cable... its very slight.....not alot of movement Push down on the lid while you do it to relieve the pressure. Rich |

The hole is under a small rubber plug center top on the front panel. Sometimes it is painted over & less than obvious.

Rich I have a spare latch so once I knew where to look for the hole (under the paint covered plug) it was easy. Now I will lube and adjust everything. Thanks everyone! Also discovered one bolt missing out of 4 on the bumper and no dog bone rubber spacers. |
