Angry Hood Release Problem

The passenger side of the hood on my 1996 850 Turbo Wagon is stuck shut.
I pull the hood release and the cable to fully release the springs to open the hood but only the drivers side of the hood raises to open. The passengers side is stuck shut. What to do???

Take out the parking light on that side and you could with some difficutly trip the latch, if the problem is with the cable.


If it just needs lubrication, you wouldn't even do that. In some cases you need 2 people, one to pull the lever while the other helps the hood to come up (gently).
