Is 300 Hood Won't Latch! Grr!

[Graceless]

I just added washer fluid and I can't latch the hood. The release handle under the dash won't return to the original position. Have I lost a spring?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

It's possible. Or maybe the latch needs some lube? You also might want to check the adjusters at each corner over the headlights and make sure they aren't out to far and maybe making the hood too hard to close.

Had the same problem.... they just cleaned and lube the hatch, and everything went back to normal!
