What's the matter when the engine hood cannot be opened and the pull wire is ineffective?
2 Answers
If the engine hood cannot be opened and the pull wire is ineffective, it may be due to the length of the pull wire. Here is some information about the engine: 1. Introduction: An engine (Engine) is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy. The first external combustion engine was invented by R. Stirling in the UK (Scotland) in 1816, which was later improved by Watt into a steam engine. 2. Applicability: Engines can be used as power generation devices or refer to the entire machine including the power device (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). Their types include internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), gas turbines (used in racing cars), electric motors, etc. 3. Development history: Looking back at the history of the emergence and development of engines, they have gone through three stages: steam engines, external combustion engines, and internal combustion engines.
I've encountered the hood release issue several times, and it's always frustrating. It's most likely a cable problem, especially common in older vehicles. The inner steel cable might be rusted solid, or the plastic retaining clip could be brittle and broken, causing it to detach when pulled. The latch mechanism itself can also jam if clogged with grease buildup - particularly in northern winters when it's prone to freezing. Last time I wasted hours trying DIY fixes before taking it to a mechanic who used a special hook tool through the grille slots to manually trip the latch. Pro tip: Ask your mechanic to spray rust inhibitor on the cable during routine maintenance, and avoid unnecessarily opening the hood to prevent dust accumulation.
