John...
I own a 2005, RX330 with 109K. I had my timing belt and tensioners replaced by my Lexus Dealer last week. In addition, I had the spark plugs replaced.
Today, my first time checking fluids, the inside hood latch release cable seemed to come loose inside the engine/safety latch. Of course, the hood will not open. The car is in great shape....never a problem, especially something like this.
When doing the above described work, would a dealer have to remove the cable release from the safety latch for any reason to get to the timing belt, etc.
Also, would you have a suggestion on how I can get into the engine compartment without being able to use the cable release?
I'm new to the Forum and don't know how to get to the proper area to describe the problem or find a helpful way of fixing it myself.
Thanks
Bruce
