The cable between the 2 locks is most likely to be giving problems. Take each lock out, lube it and make sure it's working properly.
Haha, I really should have said take BOTH locks out, the intermediate cable and the one leading to the main one, put it all on the bench and go from there. You might just have to shorten the jacket on the intermediate cable.

I think it's only 2 or 3 screws from the top holding each latch(or lock) in place. I don't remember exactly what I did with mine other than lube, bending/adjusting, and I had to shorten the intermediate cable housing(side cutters) and all was good. No parts needed but I remember thinking that I if anything I should get an intermediate cable. All the parts are not at all expensive if you need to replace.

Had a similar situation. In my case, the plastic guides for the cable (in the latches) cracked, and caused issues. The solution is to replace both hood latches. Alternatively, swap latches. I was pretty upset after ripping one cable and then ripping the replacement. Needless to say, the problem was solved.

Ours did this. After I got it open I sprayed the latch mechanism and little knob that goes into the latch and it's been good ever since.

I recently replaced mine. The two cables under the hood go bad. The metal casing rusts and collapse and you loose the cable length and the hood latch can't move the cable. Replace both under the hood that attached to the latches.
You can find them on Amazon, FCP Auto, ECS Tuning, ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/13262739182...8AAOSwSw5a~o3u
