I replaced the battery and now the hood pops open every time I open the door with the key. In addition, the hood pops up after 10 minutes of driving (intermittently) for no apparent reason. Fortunately the manual release continues to hold the hood down! I took out the hood latch and it was very stiff (like it was binding) so I went ahead and replaced it but the problem remained. I also disconnected/reconnected the battery and reset the radio code to no avail. I'm stumped - anyone have any ideas?
