Howdy All,

My hood would barely release when I pulled the knob inside the car. 93’ 245.

So I decided this morning to fix it. I loosened the bracket under the hood, which holds the cable taught. Then pulled the wire towards the driver’s side tight and re clamped it.

Now the hood will not open at all using the knob inside the car. I’ve tried pulling the wire that is clamped under the hood tighter and clamping. I also tried pulling the cable sheath tighter and clamping but no dice. I’ve adjusted the cable end bracket each time to make the wire tighter.

I even tried loosing the clamp and making the cable loose and re clamping. Nope

Anyone no how to fix this??

Any and all help is much appreciated!
