A stuck bonnet is a real nuisance. You cannot add the windshield washer fluid or check oil. It is also impossible to diagnose any bigger engine problem. Most car owners are ignorant of a faulty hood until they try to open it. The only takeaway from the event that there is a problem with triggering release which is supposed to open the bonnet. There could be a number of reasons as to why a bonnet will be stuck. In a few cases, the bonnet may open a part of the way and in most of the cases, will not budge in any way. You need a little mechanical knowledge to remedy this situation without requesting a mechanic.
Opening the bonnet is a process involving two successive steps. The first step is to release the bonnet hatch and then you must release the bonnet hatch. There may be times when the bonnet may not function as smoothly as it should. The bonnet may get stuck and may not open even after the release of the interior latch. If this happens, just take the bonnet and pull. It will pop up and then the second hatch will be released.
In older Mazda models there can be difficulties when you want the bonnet to latch upon closing it. In such a case, the car’s interior release lever is in all probability stuck in “open” position. You need to push back and forth the release lever a number of times. You can try to close the bonnet only after that. If you want to know more, driver over to Cardinale Mazda in Salinas, California.
