I need to see just how he moved that rubber back bc i feel like im going to break it. I dont see anything he's talking about on my '13 Fusion 😢

I just tried this on my 2017 Ford Fusion. I think Ford saw this video because mine is completely different. You have to get a screw driver or something much longer just to reach the rubber block. Then when I moved that out of the way, I could not see the latch. Going to the Ford Dealer bummer. Funny thing, I found out that the hood latch had malfunction at Ford's Quick Lane. I said, So, your the dealer can't you just fix it...the Service Advisory told me I have to make an appointment with the service department because Quick Lane is not equipped to deal with it. Thanks for the very informative video! Well done sir.

You're the man and in 1:50m the man gets 10 STARS !!

Thank you for save my time and money!

Literally saved me $120 no damage done during process, thank you

These cars must be notorious for breaking of the release cable and latch! THANK YOU FOR THIS!

Excellent, solved my problem. More difficult with the hood shut but it works. 2014 Fusion

I found that if you push down on the hood while doing this it makes it a little easier. At first, I couldn't get it, but look at the angle he puts the screwdriver at to get a better idea where the latch is. Great video though! I was replacing a dead battery so if I couldn't get in I was looking at a tow!

Dude! You are the man! Worked great and was easy. Thank you!

What about when the yellow safety latch doesn’t release the hood? My interior release handle works, but the safety latch does not

Literally saved me lol my hood release pull just broke

Much love man thank you for saving me a trip to the dealership

Thanks for the info, great job on the instruction! I appricate the day being saved by this video!!

I’m still taking it in to see if I can permanently fix it but this should be an easy future fix. Thanks!

Dude... thank you for making this video!

Thank you bro 🙌🏾, just saved me $300

This worked for me. Thank you. Saved me money

Thank you so much for your valuable information

You just saved my bacon!!! Thank you so much!

You just saved me alot of trouble with my dad's car. Great video. Thanks!!

Have you had any issues with your trunk randomly opening by itself? I have a 2014 Ford Fusion hybrid se

Your the 🐐 helped me out a lot

Are all models of 2013 Fusion this way to open. When I look through the grill all I see is radiator.

Is there a video or instruction on how to do this for a Focus SE 2013? It does not have all those levels in the grille.

You saved me today. Thanks

Can't get the passenger side :(

Thanks, just saved me over 100$

Ok so i managed to get the drivers side undone but i can’t get it on the passenger side? Any help?

Thank you got my hood open🎉🎉🎉

Dude man. Worked like a charm!! I had to push up and down on the hood while toggling the passenger side but it eventually released. Thanks for the tip

very helpful. yet mine does have that part from the grill closed 😑😑😑. and the battery is dead.

Having a hard time getting the passenger side open.

You're the man...great useful video💪

Thank you so much for the video tho… I was able to open mine

Dude you just saved me some money!

Thanks worked for me!!

Thanks

Love you for this video, thank you so much 🙏🏽

You're a hero

You are my hero ☺️

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the vid, will try tomorrow. The part that u pushed up against on the passenger side has a hole in it, looks like a spring is missing from it.

You gotta do both sides people

The tip worked like a charm. Am I doing something wrong bc now the hood won't shut?? What did I miss?

Thank you!

you save me bro ❤️

Literal God send

Perfect good job

I did this but there was a second latch in the left that I didn't know how to open. 2015 Fusion

On mine my yellow latch feels like it’s not connected to anything. Tried this method and did not do anything but make that click. It still stays locked

Hello I have fusion 2013 but no latch in front grill I can see.

D any of you live in Michigan? I've tried this and can not get it. But I'm so in need of an oil change and on disability so I can't afford to take it to a shop.

Does this technique work for a 2014 Ford Fusion SE eco boost

Is it the same for a non hybrid?

Work on a 2010?

I don’t see why not. Give it a shot

Damn why cant everything be this easy jeeez thanks guy

Outstanding sir

Right now can't get the hood to release and the battery is dead. I'll show my husband this video and hopefully we can get hood up. This is a crazy issue to have. Shame on ford.

Was anyone else not able to actually close the hood after they did this? I feel like I wrecked something after doing it this way.

I'd advise against this. Going to have to replace the passenger hood latch due to knocking off one spring and losing the other completely. Just order a new hood latch from Amazon with two day ship.

What does Loaded Mean?

EDIT: Dealer just called me and now the drivers latch will not close. 🤦🏻‍♂️ AND they dented the bumper cover with the screw driver when they did this to get it to open!!! 🤬 Well. 1 problem solved. The hood is open and I can get my oil changed. Gonna look into replacing or repairing the latch myself. (I JUST needed to get the good open...) I'll have the dealer put it in writing that they dented the bumper and will repair that... Saving me around $800 if this works... Gotta pick up the car from the dealer after their diagnostic today. That's $175 already!!!
