You saved my ass today…After fighting with the latch for two hours, I found your video and had my hood open in less than a minute..👍👍

I had to use rachet straps to pull it over far enough without crushing the condenser. Worked great thank you sir!!!

Thank you for posting. This works for me too.

I had exactly this problem on a 1996 F150. Looked at a couple other videos that were difficult to attempt and didn't look to be worth trying. This worked great, except that I mistakenly tried to leverage off the vertical plastic center bar of the front grill that is in front of the latch. Instead you need to leverage against the metal upright behind the latch. Still, this worked great. Thanks so much for the solution.

Thanks this gave me the right idea didn’t quite open it the same way but I learned if you have someone who can help you have them push down on the left side of the hood why’ll you wiggle the lever and it comes right open

Saved me hours in in work I should have found this video the first time I did this instead of talking out all of the bolts to disconnect the locking mechanism. I loved your explanation on why this happened made me laugh. 10/10 would watch another video.

Thank you so much for making this video Joe. I did exactly this in my 1995 F150 XLT and have been looking for the answer.

Thank you. Great video! 😊

Thank you. Same thing happened to me.

this is EASIER with TWO people! If one person is pulling the tab and the other is pressing down on the hood, it should come undone!

Worked perfectly on my ‘95 F150! Thanks

I had the same problem with my 1996 ford F250. I did exactly as you mentioned and it worked.
