On the ends where the cables attach to the hood latch, you will find that the cable ends have a screw adjustment with a screw lock..You have to adjust these until both sides pop up at the same time......WW

look to some posting about installing emergency releases...very easy to do, takes just a minute, and prevents a whole lot of cussing if your cables break.
