Hey guys your so awesome I'm sure you can solve any car problem's.
Ok here's the short version- Mercedes 1999 Ml320
Hood latch is not working, his hood will not pop open and his battery is dead...
Story- Saab's have the best forum's and I'm not just saying that because I have one
Seriously, you guys answer question's super fast and are awesome.
Anyway, lots of people that have Mercedes are having a problem with their hood release.

I have minimal experience with my roommate's Mercedes ml320 1999. He's having this exact problem (where the hood will not pop open), the latch inside is not working and we've tried every conceivable option to get it open (like one of us pushing down outside while another pulls on the inside). I really like him and wanna help him, I'm pretty handy mechanically except I've only worked on my saab 9-5. To make matter's worse his battery is dead. I feel especially bad because when he first noticed the problem was right after I bought him a new oil cap and he went outside to put it on (because he lost his). I'm pretty sure I could get it open if we "broke" the grill, but I don't wanna have to do that and neither does he. I noticed that the grill is comprised of removable segements. Well at least it looks like it can be removed and popped back into place. Pretty much i'd like a solution that doesn't involve breaking his hood, any help would be awesome!
