go to pisk a part and get a used one. If their is one there.
well is it a 4 cyl, v-6 or v-8? there should be a diagram on the underside of the hood or when you open the hood look down where the hood latch is.
I can't say with 100% certainty, but I know the hood latch on the 07 VNL780 I'm driving is located at the bottom of the steering column. It's possible that the same configuration is used on the 97 - 2004 VNL series trucks.
The best way to to try to find the cable and cut it and pull with pliers to open if the inside latch is broken. If not then you would have to go in from underneath or through the grill.
location on the driver's side low near the hood open latch and brake petal. (entire fuse box)
Try checking the ignition coil #2. Also check the spark plug and its wire.
I had to do this on my 97 Ford Explorer a month ago or so. It's easy. You should be able to go through the grill from the outside and unscrew the four bolts or so on the hood release mechanism (reassuring huh?) From there, lift the hood and the latch mechanism should come out with the hood. Detach the cable from the latch mechanism(if your cable is fine, you're in great luck) Take the latch to a junkyard and find one that looks similar(same position of bolt holes, and latch) Attach the cable to the new latch, attach the new latch to your car, it might take a while positioning it so it lines up right but I did it myself for only fifteen bucks.(cost of latch at junkyard from a different pickup).
HI, The hood release is normally found in the glove compartment. On my '97 it's on the left top when I open the glove compartment door. Yours might be a bit different, but typically it's there. Good luck. Steve H.
The "sensor", correct? I believe it is front and center as you open the hood (i.e. Near the hood latch)
On my 97 mountaineer you cannot open the hood with the release inside the truck. Standing in front of the truck on the drivers side behind the grill the cable is located to pop the latch. Carefully pull out the bottom right side of the grill and you have to have a skinny arm reach in and pull downward on the cable itself this will pop the hood...
Can a put an engine out of a 1996 toyota camry into a 1997 toyota camry?
You will need to go up between the radiator and the grill and locate the cable. Sometimes you can pull it to release with your hands but its usually easier to use needle nose plyers.
