How do you open a Ford Expedition hood with broken latch? |
[Edit] |
Answer
I had to do this on my 97 Ford Explorer a month ago or so.
It's easy.
You should be able to go through the grill from the outside and unscrew the four bolts or so on the hood release mechanism (reassuring huh?)
From there, lift the hood and the latch mechanism should come out with the hood.
Detach the cable from the latch mechanism(if your cable is fine, you're in great luck)
Take the latch to a junkyard and find one that looks similar(same position of bolt holes, and latch)
Attach the cable to the new latch, attach the new latch to your car, it might take a while positioning it so it lines up right but I did it myself for only fifteen bucks.(cost of latch at junkyard from a different pickup).
