Stuck Hood
After changing my oil in January my hood on my 2000 F 150 XLT would not latch so I had to bungie cord it closed so i could get back and forth to work. now that the weather has warmed up (thank God) my hood won't open its stuck closed. Hood release won't open it still feels like its connected thou. anyway to open from the outside?

Spring is a possibility. Lack of lubrication could be it also. If you get a visual of the spring being in place get a can of white lithium grease and spray the tar out of the assembly . After that push down and pull up on the front edege of the hood with someone keeping the latch release pulled in the cab

My hood got stuck before and it turned out the spring latch was the problem. But i wasn't careful enough, I used a bar to twist the cable, I ended up having to get a new cable and latch. Hope you get yours opened without any damage.
