I had my yearly inspection this morning and had two failures. My washer sprayer didn’t work, which took about 16 minutes to fix (broken section of hose behind hood scoop), but my hood won’t latch now.
I’ve used lube, obviously, but it’s still not catching. I removed the mechanism and cleaned it, I’ve tried shimming the upper clip to move it further into the locking mechanism, and also adjusting the locking mechanism upwards. Still won’t catch. It looks like the pull cable is loose and not pulling the lock fully closed.
Maybe it’s time to replace the hood lock? Any other suggestions?
