Hood won't open

**Elroi** · October 23rd, 2013 03:05 PM

car is a 2006 vios e. around 3 months ng di nagagamit, ini-start na lang paminsan-minsan. nadrain na yung battery kanina and ng iju-jumper sana eh ayaw na bumukas yung hood. di na mapaandar yung car para madala sa talyer.

umaangat naman yung lever sa loob pag hinatak at may tension din ( so malamang di putol yung cable). pero wala ng click na nadididnig pag hinatak at di na nag pop-up yung hood. sinubukan na din ulit-ulitin na hatakin yung lever dahil baka namakat lang yung cable pero ayaw pa din.

help naman mga sir...

The hood latch probably just got stuck. Use a flat metallic object (like the handle of a spoon/fork) wrapped in cloth and have someone gently pry the hood open as you work on the lever.

Once open, apply lubrication on the hood latch.

Malamang kinalawang na hook nya kaya di maka angat hood,try mo kung matatangal mo grill para masungkit mo hook,better spray muna ng anti rust if may kalawang

Possible na pumakat lang yung rubber cushion sa hood end or stuck up yung hinges. Spray some lube like WD40 sa area ng hinges then ask someone to assist you to try and pry open the hood as you simultaneously pull on the hood release latch.

finally nabuksan din yung hood..

kahapon i sprayed wd40 sa tapat ng latch but still ayaw pa din bumukas so hinayaaan ko lang siya mababad. then when i tried it this morning, ayun isang hatak lang bumukas na. kinalawang na nga at na-stuck yung latch nya, nilagyan ko na lang ng grasa..

thanks a lot guys...
