Engine hood wont open. haaod pull handle pulls out but wont release hood.
Try pulling on the hood release, while someone else lifts the hood. If this doesn't work. You can access the underside of the hood release by taking the front grille out. If you look closely you'll see the retainer screws that can be removed from the front. Once the grille is out or loosened enougt to get your hand in behind, you can release the hood latch from the underside with a screwdriver and then repair the hood latch after you've opened it.

Once you get it open you may squirt WD-40 on the latch release...Mine was sticky and I hit it with WD and it works great now
