hood is stuck 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Gerard in Boston on  Tue Aug 19 13:55 CST 2014 [RELATED]

1990 740 wagon, the farthest hood lock releases but the closest (driver side ) doesn't let go, I've taken the adjustment screw to both extremes but it doesn't work.
I also disconnected the cable from the red lever in the driver foot well and pulled the cable with vise grips, the outer lock releases as usual but the driver side won't let go. Apparently the cable isn't broken.
Had this car for 8 yrs now, I've noticed over time the cable became slacker and that one side (drivers) always got hung up but I could always just pull it up to get at the release lever in the middle of the hood.

Tried looking up under the bumper, can't see squat up there.
