How to Maintain a Hood Latch on 2000 Dodge Caravan?

Release the hood latch and then proceed to open the hood to service it. Unbolt the connections that secure the hood latch to the radiator closure crossmember and take the hood latch off the crossmember. After removing the cable from the hood release, get rid of the hood latch as well. While installing, put the hood latch on the car and link the hood release cable to it. Situate the hood latch above the crossmember, with the tabs on the net resting on the latch; correct the alignment by flatting or grinding the tabs if problems are found. Make sure the hood's operation and alignment are correct, then fasten the attaching bolts to 13.5 N.m (10 ft.lbs.) torque.
