Hood Latch & Release
On both my 92F150 and 95 F250, the hood latch release inside the cab doesn't retract all the way when I open the hood. If I don't push it back in then the hood won't close until I do.
In the past, when I opened the hood, the release would pull itself back in without me pushing it. I don't see any springs in the system, does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?
Thanks.

I've had to Spray a couple latches of mine with parts cleaner. Because of all gunk that built up over years. then lube it. But I did replace one latch on my 88 bronco because nothing seemed to work. good luck.

you need to use spray lube, than work cable back and forth, repeat for at least a couple of days. mine would not open hood when i bought truck and now it never gives me problems because twice a year i lube it up.
