To troubleshoot and fix a problem with the sliding patio door latch lever, first check for any obstructions or debris blocking the latch mechanism.

Answerthe latch under the hood goes UP not DOWN :) I had a problem with my hood latch not fully closing. The horizontal spring behind the latch had disengaged. I reattached it using needle nose pliers and problem solved.
It is a Lever handle (long instead of a knob) that has not a lock.
I would look at the trunk latch for a small lever that disables the remote release when you have the car valet parked. I'm not sure about Stratus, but many cars I have worked on have this feature. Have someone operate the lever in the car while you watch what the cable is doing at the latch. If that is the problem, you should be able to see it.
The BMW hood latch release lever is located on the floor, next to the drivers seat. Pull the lever upward to release the hood latch.
To properly install and use a latch door in a home, first, ensure the door and frame are aligned and level. Install the latch mechanism according to the manufacturer's instructions. Test the latch to ensure it functions properly. To use the latch door, simply close the door and engage the latch by turning the knob or lever. To unlock, turn the knob or lever in the opposite direction.
under the hood ----- All seriousness aside, the latch is in fact under the hood, but the lever to actuate the latch may be in one of several places. On an old "classic" VW Beetle, the lever is located in the glove box on the passenger side of the dash board.
The problem may be with your park brake cables. Over time they become rusted and corroded and they pull out and won't go back, holding the brake shoes or pads against the brake surface and need to be replaced. However the problem could be the latch that holds the park brake lever in place when it is on. If if the release button does not unlock the lever, It won't release. The gear type latch may need lubricated with rust and grease dissolving solvent until it moves freely. Hope this fixes your problem
hold the lever. Push outside !
I had problems with my hood latch on a 1993 Le Sabre. My mechanic showed me how to open the hood. Pull the lever back just enough to pop the latch. Do not pull the lever any further than that or it will not work. Once you get the hang of it you will have no problems. Good luck.
Open the door and look where the latch is there should be a black lever push it down and it should unlock the door.
To release a stuck bonnet latch on a Citroën Saxo, first, check if the release lever inside the vehicle is fully engaged. If it's stuck, try pulling the lever multiple times or pushing it gently while simultaneously pulling. If that doesn't work, you can access the latch mechanism through the grille by using a flathead screwdriver to carefully push the latch mechanism to the side, allowing the bonnet to open. If these methods fail, it may be necessary to consult a mechanic for further assistance.
I have dealt with this problem before at our bodyshop. Basically, a spring inside the latch has broke, and now there is no way to release the latch, even by manually pulling on the release lever at the latch. Prepare to replace the latch, as it is not repairable. Be prepared to be working inside the car. To make it easier to work, unbolt the seat, and remove from the car. Remove the door panel, and also the door handle. You will have to chisel at the plastic part of the latch, and break it off bit by bit. Eventually you will be able to release the latch. good luck
