How do you fix hood latch hood doesn't lock?

To fix a hood latch that doesn't lock, first inspect the latch mechanism for any debris or damage that might be preventing it from engaging properly. Clean the latch and surrounding area, and lubricate the mechanism with a suitable lubricant. If the latch is bent or broken, it may need to be adjusted or replaced. Finally, ensure that the hood aligns correctly with the latch when closed, as misalignment can also prevent it from locking.
