If the latch under your hood is damaged and won't lock then your hood could fly up while you are driving. You should take it to a mechanic to see if they can fix your latch.

How do you pop the hood on a 2006 Ford Fusion?

On the driver's side of the car, there will be a handle with a small picture of the car. The picture has the car and the hood is open. You pull that handle. You will see that the hood of the car pops up. Next, you search for a "latch" around the middle of the hood. You press up on that handle and hold it there while lifting the hood. The hood will go right up and there is your engine compartment!


What causes a ball thrown straight up in a car going 60 miles per hour to not hit the back of the car?

The ball inherits the forward speed of the car when thrown inside it. As a result, the horizontal velocity of the ball inside the car matches that of the car itself. This causes the ball to maintain its position relative to the car's interior and not hit the back of the car.

How do you open hood for 2003 Toyota?

When you open the Drivers side door, look down and you will see a lever with the picture of a car with its hood up. Once you pull the lever the hood will slightly pop up, after that go to the front of the car and between the hood and the grille there will be a lever. Pull that lever and pull the hood up once the lever is as high as it can go. Now that your hood is open, put the hood support rod into its hole. Now you have an open hood.

How do you open hood on a 1980 z28 camaro?

I own this car, and there is no release mechanism inside the car for starters. Just go to the front of the car and (looking at the car), look for an access opening under the right (driver) side front of the bumper. Put your hand up in there and you'll feel a handle, pull towards the front of the car, and then pull up on the hood after it pops up. You may have to have a friend help you pull up on the hood while pulling on the lever. it depends on whether or not the latch is working correctly.

Your hood release is broken how do you open your hood?

I have this problem. I was taught to stand by the front, driver's tire with the driver door wide open. Reach inside the car with one hand to hit the hood release while pulling up on the hood where the hood ends and the windshield begins (otherwords, the top of the hood) with the other hand. Lifting it up as much as you can will somehow pop the hood. Then, walk around to the front of the car and procede to open the hood as usual. I've been told that the hood shocks are worn. You can also have someone lift the hood while you hit the hood release.


Where is the battery located for a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer?
