Help ! hood lever not working how to open ?
I can pull the hood level all the way up and nothing happens !
the mechanic had removed the hood lock stuff to take out the radiator last week (since then I did not try to open)

Feel under the lip of the bonnet and try release it by disengaging the catch.

The lever inside the car? is there any tention on it?
Try getting someone to push up and down on the front of the bonnet while you are pulling the lever. Usually it'll pop up. Have this problem all the time at work and it usually does the trick

I don't think so, I think the mechanic has forget to re-fit something after removing the radiator. Before the radiator removal I did not have this problem.

You will have to take the bumper and the fans off sounds like the mechanic did not replace the outer cable in the clip that tensions the inner cable against the the bonnet catch relase.
