Default Re: Stuck hood latch (Help!)

Try adjusting the hood adjustment bumpers up a little. The rubber bumpers that hood contacts. Adjust them up by turning them until you need a little more pull on release handle to pop hood. When hood is to easy to open it wont pop primary latch completely and will fall back down to latched position once hood is opened

Ok here is the weird thing. I have.
I have sprays almost every known lube to man around the latch and yet it still randomly sticks.

Given I havent tried cleaning it first then lubing it, but I might give that a whirl.
I think i am going to try to post a pic of it because maybe it is me, but it seems like it doesnt look right and I figure between the two prominent resident "HummerHeads" (instead of "gear heads") maybe this could help.

I just had a thought...........

Could it possibly be the cable that controls the latch???? Could that cable inside the sleeve be sticking??? It is an 03 and maybe the original cable is just getting too old.

In trying to think "outside the box", if the latch is not damaged, and has been lubed, but still functions intermittently, then maybe its time to look beyond the latch itself.
