my 91 300D still has a hood release that will not do anything. The
lever is attached to the lower dash next to the A Pillar. I have
pulled, pushed and cursed at it will equal results. Nothing budges.
Efforts to move the hood itself are just as frustrating. Neither side of
the hood will lift even a little and the grill section does not budge at
all. Efforts to push down also failed. The hood does not move in any
direction - I put much of my 230#'s on each side and nothing seemed to move.
That latch mechanism seems completely frozen. There was no inkling of
a problem in the past - I changed the fog light bulb approx 5 days ago
and everything operated normally.
If I remove the lower engine cover will I be able to release the hood
from below? I don't recall seeing the latch last time I was under the
front end.
If all my efforts fail, would this be a job for a Indy or should I bite
the bullet and take it to a dealer?
Thanks -
Larry
