I'm also having trouble opening my front truck. after reading quite a few threads on this topic, i replaced the actuator, and sprayed some penetrating oil into the release mechanism. so, the new actuator works well, much better than the old one, but the hood isn't "popping up" when it activates. with a little effort, and pinching my finger into the slot, i can manually lift it up, but it seems like a spring or something may be missing or broken. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should i replace the entire release mechanism or is it something else that i can fix without requiring replacing another part?

Note- While in there i also re-routed my release cable to the tow hole. great tip! thanks Pedro
