Hey, so I' up here in Lake Arrowhead, and when I pull the handle for the front trunk cable it isn't releasing the latch. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Thank all. Anyone got a good write up on making an emergency release?

Thank all. Anyone got a good write up on making an emergency release? You won't need one if you remove the cable from the housing and lube it with teflon or silicon based lube. Lube the pull under the dash. Lube the lock mechanism at the hood. Tighten the set screw properly. Then the release will work easily and properly every time. |
