Will a broken release cable cause the latch to malfunction? I opened my hood fine, few minutes later when I went to close it, it wouldn’t shut. The latching mechanism looks visually fine, and moves fine if I were to manually move it with my hands. But it won’t latch when I push the hood down. I oiled it, same issue. When I manually move the latch to the closed position, there’s no tension on the release cable from inside the car. I believe maybe it broke somehow, but it looks perfectly normal. Any help is greatly appreciated. Hoping it’s a simple fix and I don’t have to replace the whole latch or cable.
