Where is the release lever in a ford K A

On most vehicles the hood release is usually located on the door side of one of the foot wells. They are often hidden under the lower edge of the dash as a long plastic pull lever or a smaller round pull button. It will have a small image of a car with the hood open on it. It could be on the drivers OR the passenger side so check both. Open the car door wide and look up under the dashboard deep in the foot well.
There are some older models of vehicles from the 1960's and 1970's that have the hood release lever on the front of the vehicle where you reach through the front grill to release it. If there is no lever inside the vehicle use a flashlight to look through the grille. if there is a release it will be somewhere near the middle, top edge of the grille.

There are 2 fuses. One for the front windows and One for the rear windows. The fuse panel you need is inside the vehicle. It is behind a panel in the dashboard, at about knee height when you are sitting in the drivers seat. It is often on the side nearest the door. Check fuses 54 and 55.

Did you check in the glove box or under the drivers seat or in the arm rest thing between driver and passenger, or on the dashboard near the drivers knee?

Adjustment: 1) Start the engine and shift to Reverse. With the vehicle moving backwards, firmly depress the brake pedal several times to seat the shoes in the brake drum. Turn engine off. 2) Remove the console trim surrounding the parking brake lever. This isn't really necessary if you have a deep socket and extension. 3) Pull up on brake lever until the seventh notch is engaged, just listen and count the clicks. 4) If it is out of adjustment and you can't get the seven clicks, turn the adjusting nut located on the drivers side next to the lever. 5) Release the lever, block the front wheels, raise the rear end. Best to put on jackstands. 6) With car in neutral and brake lever released, rotate the rear wheels. The wheels should turn freely, but a slight drag is acceptable. 7) If the lever travels too far or the parking brake fails to hold the vehicle on a hill, tighten the adjusting nut a little more and recheck,

There is another lever at the front of the car that you need to release too. This is to prevent the hood flying open if you accidentally pull the release while driving. After you release the latch inside the car, go to the front of the car, near the Audi rings in the center of the grill there is a small black tab that pops out. Pull up on it and the hood will open. Let us know if that worked.

there should be a lever that is on the bottom edge of dash that is under the steering wheel along the trim. if the handle is broken you can use pliers to grab the cable and pull it to get the hood to realse. if you found all that and i seems to work ok then when pulling the release lever have a friend hit or shake the hood to get it to pop up a little so that you can open it all the way.

if u can gain access to the ignition switch wiring use a testlight and probe each wire while turning the ignition at start position.one of these wires shld have power during starting position and release it again to confirm.this wire goes directly to the trasmission multi lever position swicht (mlp).this MLP is mounted just outside the transmission shifting lever ganged together.Trace the corresponding return wire using the testlight. You may need someone to help you do the job.The return wire usually go to a relay on your fuse box on the engine compartment.Then from relay to the starter.

stretched or frozen... have helper bang on hood center front while you tug..once open lube abd grease all latch areas and cable end you see there...good luck
