You can open your
Ford F-150
hood in just three easy steps:
  • Pull the interior hood release handle: It is located inside the truck on the instrument panel near the driver side door
  • Pull the secondary release handle: It’s located under the truck’s hood towards the center. Walk to the front of the truck and feel around under the hood—since you have pulled the first handle, you will have about 2 inches of space to feel for the second handle with your hand, then push the latch upwards
  • Lift the hood until you feel it lock into place
Now you are all set to add your windshield wiper fluid. Doing
basic car maintenance
is a smart way to save money. Another great way to find savings is by downloading the
