How to service and repair the hood latch on 2001 Ford Explorer?

The service and repair process starts with lifting the hood before supporting it while removing the radiator grille sight shield by unscrewing its bolts and rivets. The removal of the sight shield should be followed by hood latch extraction which includes unscrewing the bolts along with disconnecting the latch cable from the hood latch hardware. The technician should note the location of the hood latch before unfastening the mounting bolts. The installation procedure should be the reverse order of removal plus possible adjustments to the hood latch.
