Default Hood latch

I am having a problem opening my hood with the inside latch. I pull it and it doesn't release the hood. When I look under the hood, the latch is pulling the cable, just can't figure out why its not releasing the hood. I can release the hood by pulling the cable with a pair of pliers. Do I need a new latch mechanism or cable?

It sounds like your cable has stretched. You can replace it with a new one and it should solve your problems.

ah, that would make sense. How hard are they to replace?
