hood stuck
When I go to pull the switch for the hood release. It won't budge. This the first time this has happened.

the latches get rusty and seize sometimes. I had one lock up before.
if you remove the headlamp buckets there are 2 bolts that hold the hood latch in (perside) one that faces up under the radiator support and one to the outside facing in. you can remove them and open the hood, the latch will still be latched to the hood, then you can lube them up and get them free.

Well when you get it open you can find out. Hood cables are cheap enough. For peace of mind you could just replace it too.
