Well finally I go to open the hood on my car and the cable wont retract so the hood wont lock down!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a quick fix bc the dealer wants 70 bucks for the cable and it xmas time so im broke!
yep did both inside and at the latch with WD-40 doesnt help that its like -4 here !!!!!Im so pissed now I dont want to change this **** now...Looks like the Visa is gonna get bigger!!!LOL
Yeah they're oin the right track. The latching mechanism is probably gummed up. Try lubing it with a penetrating oil and work the latch mechanism (not just the cable) by hand as you do to free it up. I have had this problem with a truck I used to have. Up front where they are all kinds of junk gets in there and makes them stick.
well its fixed for now...i took the latch off and retracted it and used WD-40 on it so problem fixed for now....I didnt try to re-open it lol ......easy fix for now!
One more nod for PB Blaster here also. Used it to loosen an O2 sensor after my father-in-law told me about the stuff and I'll swear by it now. Good stuff.
