Hey you mechanics! Why the *&#@*! does 2005 F150 hood release have two cables??
One cable for popping the hood from the inside the cab,

And a *(&^%#@ 2nd cable connected to a little lever beneath the grill to fully release the latch.

There are at least 10 videos on youtube showing what to do when the cab release cable breaks...

BUT NONE showing what to do when the 2nd release cable breaks!!!

I spent an hour Sunday pushing and prying stuff with a 12" screwdriver hoping to miraculously hit the magical button. Nope.

Got to the point where I didn't care and was considering smashing a hole in the grill to get to something.

HOW DOES ONE OPEN THE HOOD IF THE 2ND CABLE IS BUSTED?

I will name my next dog after you if you can tell me how.

Thanks!

Just trying to get it OPEN, noob. Just trying to get it open so we can charge the battery.

Anything else you wish to add to the discussion?

Can you see some bolts holding the piece it latches to on the hof? It may not have any (built in) but it's worth a shot

Most trucks just have a LEVER that you PUSH aside for the final latch release.

The piece of junk F150 has the lever at the bottom connected via cable.

You are oh for two so far.

Thanks for your feedback! Greatly appreciated.

I'll stop by the garage to ask them if they have an extra F150 lying around that I can reverse engineer.

Do you see much often where you go "what the hell were the engineers thinking when they designed this"?
