2004 Ford Expedition Hood Latch Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the hood latch on 2004 Ford Expedition?

  A: The process starts with lifting and sustaining the hood before servicing or repairing its latch. First disconnect the upper radiator sight shield along with the pin-type retainers. Expedition owners must first remove the bolts securing the hood latch before releasing the hood latch cable from its place. The hood latch service begins with removing the screw and secondary hood release cable for Navigator before proceeding to remove the bolts and hood latch and finally disconnecting the hood latch cables. Unfasten the primary and secondary hood latch cables from their retaining points. You should reinstall the hood latch while ensuring it connects perfectly to the striker both at the secondary latched stage and at the fully latched stage. Proceed with adjusting the hood latch until it achieves functional readiness.
