How do I open a Ford Expedition hood?

How can I get the hood of my Ford Expedition open? I’m kind of embarrassed to say that I have never opened it on my own, but I need to add windshield washing fluid and don’t want to have to take it in for something like that.

Don’t be embarrassed! Many car owners don’t know
how to open their hoods
, but happily it is a simple process.
To open a
Ford Expedition
hood:
  • Pull the hood release lever which is found near the floor on the left side of the steering wheel column. This will pop the hood up slightly.
  • Release the hood’s safety latch by sliding it to the left. It should be located right around the center of your hood, but it may take a second to find it if you’ve never felt around for it before. Once the latch is released, you can open your hood fully.
Now you should be all set to add in windshield wiper fluid! Opening a hood is simple enough once you’ve done it once or twice. Are you looking for more simple car tips? Try shopping for your
