Thanks man. Got it. The passenger side was the worst. Driver's side was easy. Used a camera probe on the passenger side. My stepson turns 21 this Wednesday, told him he owes me a case of beer. It's his car.
Right now can't get the hood to release and the battery is dead. I'll show my husband this video and hopefully we can get hood up. This is a crazy issue to have. Shame on ford.
D any of you live in Michigan? I've tried this and can not get it. But I'm so in need of an oil change and on disability so I can't afford to take it to a shop.
I found that if you push down on the hood while doing this it makes it a little easier. At first, I couldn't get it, but look at the angle he puts the screwdriver at to get a better idea where the latch is. Great video though! I was replacing a dead battery so if I couldn't get in I was looking at a tow!
On mine my yellow latch feels like it’s not connected to anything. Tried this method and did not do anything but make that click. It still stays locked
EDIT: Dealer just called me and now the drivers latch will not close. 🤦🏻♂️ AND they dented the bumper cover with the screw driver when they did this to get it to open!!! 🤬 Well. 1 problem solved. The hood is open and I can get my oil changed. Gonna look into replacing or repairing the latch myself. (I JUST needed to get the good open...) I'll have the dealer put it in writing that they dented the bumper and will repair that... Saving me around $800 if this works... Gotta pick up the car from the dealer after their diagnostic today. That's $175 already!!!
I'd advise against this. Going to have to replace the passenger hood latch due to knocking off one spring and losing the other completely. Just order a new hood latch from Amazon with two day ship.
Thanks for the vid, will try tomorrow. The part that u pushed up against on the passenger side has a hole in it, looks like a spring is missing from it.
Don’t do this !! Broke my car now my hood will not close!!!

Was able to get the drivers side with ease. I don't even see the passenger side mechanism.
Thank you for save my time and money!
Thank you so much for your valuable information
Work on a 2010?
Thank you so much for the video tho… I was able to open mine
Thanks
Damn why cant everything be this easy jeeez thanks guy
I need to see just how he moved that rubber back bc i feel like im going to break it. I dont see anything he's talking about on my '13 Fusion 😢
I’m still taking it in to see if I can permanently fix it but this should be an easy future fix. Thanks!

Dude! You are the man! Worked great and was easy. Thank you!
You saved me today. Thanks
You're the man and in 1:50m the man gets 10 STARS !!
Thank you got my hood open🎉🎉🎉
The tip worked like a charm. Am I doing something wrong bc now the hood won't shut?? What did I miss?
Ever get it fixed?
Was anyone else not able to actually close the hood after they did this? I feel like I wrecked something after doing it this way.
Thank you so much!
Thanks worked for me!!
Your the 🐐 helped me out a lot
Is it the same for a non hybrid?
What about when the yellow safety latch doesn’t release the hood? My interior release handle works, but the safety latch does not
Same problem I’m having
Me too @@3500bsmith
You are my hero ☺️
You're a hero
Dude man. Worked like a charm!! I had to push up and down on the hood while toggling the passenger side but it eventually released. Thanks for the tip
Excellent, solved my problem. More difficult with the hood shut but it works. 2014 Fusion
You just saved me alot of trouble with my dad's car. Great video. Thanks!!
You're the man...great useful video💪
You just saved my bacon!!! Thank you so much!

You gotta do both sides people
Have you had any issues with your trunk randomly opening by itself? I have a 2014 Ford Fusion hybrid se
Love you for this video, thank you so much 🙏🏽
These cars must be notorious for breaking of the release cable and latch! THANK YOU FOR THIS!

Literal God send
you save me bro ❤️
Perfect good job

Literally saved me lol my hood release pull just broke
Dude... thank you for making this video!

This car is a piece of shit. I never would've bought it if I knew it needed a new hood latch. Whoever heard of such a thing.
@@Nikes62 it’s $15….. not worth scrapping the car over that lmao definitely made with cheap parts but it runs like a champ n that’s all that matters…
