So, I tried to open my hood today and when I pull the release from inside the car, nothing happens. I had someone pull the release will I looked through the grill at the latch mechanism and I can see it moving but the hood doesn't pop up. I tried pulling up and pushing down on it while the release was being pulled and nothing worked. The release feels loose now, i.e. not as much tension as when I first pulled it.
I am worried that I messed it up some how. I did install an Optima Red Top last night. I was thinking that I left something under the hood that might be causing too much tension on the latch for it to release, but a quick inventory of all my tools and equipment lead me to believe I didn't. The hood is sitting at the right level with respect to the fenders, so I'm not sure that there is anything under there. I did have some trouble shutting the last time, but nothing too odd.
Anyone have any ideas or any similar experiences to this? Or, any ideas on how to open the damn thing? I did a search of the site, but nothing related seemed to come up.
