Procedure to open a passenger side stuck hood latch. :confused
Necessary Tools for Procedure:
2 Cans of Beer – Your Choice
1 Stubby Screw Driver
Directions:
1) Open 1 can of beer, drink half can.
2) Start engine.
3) Turn on windshield wipers – when the wipers are in the up position, turn engine off which should stop the wipers in the upright position, and out of your way.
4) From the wiper area, find the access plug. Push the access plug in towards the engine, do not worry, it will fall into a compartment so you can easily find it and replace when finished.
5) Drink the rest of the first can of beer.
6) Locate the release lever at the access hole. Using your stubby screw driver, push downward on the lever. Walla! The hood should release. :Twist
7) Open and drink second can of beer.
This should take you about 5 minutes including getting the tools, unless of course you are out of beer, then you’ll need to add a trip to the store into the procedure outlined above. I would suggest to all of you who haven’t had this problem yet, go out to your car, open the hood, and visualize what you will need to do when it happens.
The following link should be of help to you.
