If the hood latch of your 2003 Ford Windstar won't release after pulling the interior latch, you can try gently pressing down on the hood while a helper pulls the latch again to relieve tension. If that doesn't work, locate the hood release mechanism under the front grille. You may need to use a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry it open or manipulate the latch directly. If all else fails, consider consulting a professional mechanic for assistance.
