I replaced my hood latch cable at the mechanic and now the hood won't close shut. All seems connected and working ok, but the cable needs some more slack in order for the pin in the lock to catch the hood pin correctly. It all seems too tight and causing tension, so it's like pulling the lever at 50-60%.
Things I tested:
The lever is at 0% did wiggle it
The cable is pulled as far as it can go (through the firewall)
Any ideas?
