02 Toyota Tundra Hood Won't Latch

I found the latch on the right hand side of the center near the hood latch assembly and fed a shoe lace though it and pulled that latch back to finish unlatching the hood but the hood remains secured.

02 toyota tundra hood won't latch. There isnt anything in the engine bay preventing the hood from closing. When I push the latch down with a screwdriver it wont grab either. Then skin the outer.

Thats not too bad generally but now that I know what it actually took to fix the problem that is a LOT. Installing a high-quality lock will let you park your truck anywhere without worrying about potential hazards. Also the hood wont close it.

My 05 did this and Id have to virtually peel back my fingernails to get under the edge of the hood to pop it up to get to the secondary latch. I have a 05 camry and i went to clean all of the fallen leaves out from under the hood but the release latch is broken I think. Same quality as OE for less money Designed with the latest software and manufactured with modern tooling.

2003 tundra hood wont open. The latch component that others often say gets gunked is moving freely and the springs are pulling it downto the rightdriver side. Using a screwdriver carefully pry the cable out of the slot.

The other side of the latch component the part the hood loop presses on seems to be moving but wont articulate far enough to fully latch. Is it possible that the release cable is stuck in. Use a pliers to pull the release cable out of its notch then thread the ball end out of its catch.

Where is the hood release latch in the grill of an 06 Tundra. If it still wont open and its the cable and not the latch youll have to replace it anyway so instead of removing the grill cut the cable behind the pull lever under the dash where you can reach it. Ive sprayed the latch with a penetrator and letting sit.
