the hood is stuck. what do i do?
pulling the hood release thing doesn't do anything. not even a clicking noise. there is still tension, so it seems to be pulling something... i can't get it open just by pulling on it. i've tried pushing down on the hood, but it seems like it's already down as far as it will go.. i'm running out of ideas.
help anyone? i just replaced the water pump last night and i reaaaally want to check the coolant level.

The cable popped out on mine once, I had to reach under on the exhaust side and pop the release. But if you still have tension on the cable, it's still hooked up.
Get a wide flat screwdriver, wrap it with tape if you don't want to harm your paint, and them pull out on the handle and pry up on the hood.
