Problem with 95 ford f-150 My hood latch on my 95 f-150 pickup truck is not working. First it wouldn't shut until I slammed it closed and the drivers side was still sticking up a little because it wouldn't close all the way. Now I cant even open my hood but barely enough to stick my girly fingers under. It will not got up or down much to release the hood latch either so I can close it the right way. Please say y'all can help. :(

do you mean undone from the cable? if so, see if you can reach the attachment point for the cable and pull in direction of the cable to release

Hrmm. Have you taken the whole latch assembly off ? If not there is a black cover over the assembly which has about 6 screws on it that is also connected to th fan shroud, then after that it's only 2 bolts to undo I believe they are 5/8ths socket, dont quote me. My 97 just had the same problem I popped the hood one day and then it didnt close again. So after taking the assembly out there are 2 springs one that is for after the hood is popped to just open it up that is a big spring about 2 1/2 inches or so. Theres another one at the bottom though that actually keeps the hood latched down on my truck it was rusted and snapped in half. I went to the ford dealer said I had to buy a whole new assembly 25$ plus 2 days wait, I went to home depot in the hardware section found a pack of springs that contain (2) 2 1/2" inch springs and (2) 1 1/2" for 4 dollars used the small one to replace it now I have back up for both. Hopefully this is your problem cause it's cheap and easy to fix just open it up. Let me know if this is it.
SOURCE: Hood release under the dash has no tension on it. Hood will not latch closed
The latch is stuck in the open position. I always found white lithium grease worked best on those latches but any good lubricant will work. Try moving the latch manually with a screwdriver. After applying the lubricant move the latch a few times. You should see the tension return to the release, if it doesn't you have a broken release cable.
SOURCE: 3rd door on ford f150 will not open
There was something in the paper, maybe a recall on the latch for the 3rd door. There is a clip inside the door that keeps the lockrod in place. You might want to call the dealer about it. I am not sure you can remove the inside panel without having the door open.
