Just did my oil change on my new to me 2001 Dodge ram 1500 with the 5.9 gas close the hood after adding some oil went around the block wanted to come back to check it because I didn’t like the sound my motor was making lol now my hood won’t open. The latch is just not working at all. I already tried the coat hanger trick. The thing under the hood lifts up, but the hood will not open. What do I do?

Have someone pull the release handle , while you smack the hood over the latch . If it works , lubricate the mechanism.
