I can't get the hood opened...

• hilliardfan

  ...on my 2003 F150! It is a nice truck with 145K miles that looks and runs really nice. However, I don't drive it a lot (2,000 miles since I got it in February) and it will sit for extended periods of time. I went to do an oil change on it and couldn't get the hood open. When I pull the interior latch nothing happens. The cable still appears to be attached to the interior latch but won't release the hood. Any suggestions?

  I'm not a car guy at all, but these guys were so pleasant and good-natured I could listen to that show.

  Yeah, buy a GM. You'll need to open the hood to work on the engine.
