Unhappy Hood stuck!

Hey everybody! I changed my oil and replaced my belt and 2 pulleys and yay! no more squeak squeak. I showed my dad when he got home, and closed the hood. It didn't close all the way, but now it will not open or close! it isn't latched completely. I went to give my friend a jump but I couldn't because I couldn't get my hood open. Sad.

Any suggestions? 1995 F-150 XLT ext cab/long bed 351W/e4od. it does have a/c

Sounds like maybe you left something laying on the rad support and you can't get enough pressure off the safety latch to let it release. Look up under there and see if there's anything there.

wow, guess I acidentally posted this same thing twice. oops...

End result, the latch closed with the hood open (musta leaned on it) and I got it free with a hammer and screwdriver.
