Well, you guessed it, I went to open my hood and only the driver's side released. I could not get the pass side to release. Not sure if the cable had broken or finally overstretched. I could not reach under the drivers' side far enough to see or reach the cable area. I was starting to think I might have to go through a wheel well to get to it...
After much yelling,pulling on the hood,and jerking the hood release cable in and out, I got lucky and the right side released. It was stretched not broken. I got a new crossover cable from Ecklers.It was a 5 min installation and adjusted up fine. This is an easy PM and may save you a major headache.
