Front hood latch on 99

Hello,

I am having front hood latch problems tonight.

For starters the when I tried to open it tonight it was nearly imposible, almost like the cable was not realsing the hood. I had someone hold open the inside latch but that did not do any good.

Finally after a screwdriver and a towel I was able to raise the hood enough to open it.

I looked at everything sprayed some wd 40 and figured worse case I will get it fixed next month some time. SO I shut the hood. I had to try my wd 40 and see if that helped. It help 100% the hood opened right up.

Now the problem, I can not get it to close. It looks like the lock is stuck in the open position.

Does anyone have or know where I can find a diagram of the front hood latch?

Ever happen to anyone else?


Thanks
Gary
