Nissan is a very comfortable and reliable car, which, however, is not without its drawbacks. Even if you carefully monitor the condition of the car, you cannot control all the processes taking place inside the car. Wear of parts leads to a number of not very dangerous, but undesirable situations. One of these situations is damage to the cable, which makes it impossible to open the Nissan hood.
Instructions
Step 1
There can be many reasons for this problem. Among them are the following:
- stretching of the cable due to long and frequent use;
- cable break;
- freezing of the bonnet lock;
- jumping off the rope loop from the lever.
Step 2
All the reasons are eliminated both in the Nissan service center and by our own efforts. But before you start any action, be sure to understand the mechanism of the car. If you are sure that you know enough of him, you can start operational actions.
Step 3
Let's start with the simplest problem - the freezing of the castle. Warm up the lock with a hair dryer or hot water. The second method is more effective, but it can lead to undesirable consequences of damage to the paint. After finishing the water treatment, get rid of the remaining moisture, as the castle can freeze even more.
Step 4
If the cause is a stretched cable, use your ingenuity. The main idea here is that you need to pull on the cable so that the latch on the lock releases the hood by itself. To do this, pull the cable, having previously unscrewed the handle in the car's elephant. Remember that the cable and handle are directly connected. You can also make a hook from available tools and use it to hook the cable through the holes in the car's radiator mesh.
Step 5
The most difficult problem in terms of solving is the breaking of the cable. Here, your decision depends on the structure of a particular car. Try using a screwdriver, which you insert into the radiator grill and press it on the lock lever. If this does not work, using the same screwdriver, simply remove the radiator mesh. After that, stick your hand under the hood and open it from the inside. In any case, it is better to fix such a breakdown, and not to ride with it constantly. Nissan Qashqai, whose bonnet is designed differently from other Nissan cars, may require a different instruction to open the bonnet.
