Hood not opening, and Distronic/Blind spot inoperative
Hello all, I just obtained a used 2012 ML350. Unfortunately, I cannot open the hood. It is very difficult to pry open the hood release latch, and it still does not open the hood. Today while driving on the highway, the hood became loose. I am thinking it is a broken/dislodged hood release cable. Is there a DIY for this?
Also, on a separate note, the cluster shows that Blind Spot and Distronic are inoperative. I used an advanced OBD reader, and it showed no problems with the radar or distronic functions. However, there was something about a blind spot open circuit. Is Distronic something that can be disabled so I can just use cruise control? Is there anything else suggested?
Maybe because a little bump/accident somewhere in the front, the latches are stretched and Distronic is misaligned. Do you have more data about "something" about blind spot open circuit?
To switch from a very advanced and expensive function like Distronic to Tempomat, it will need a very advanced coding/reprogramming and some switches exxchanged.
Thank much. I have included the error code below in the picture. The blind spot is not working and it says Pre-Safe is limited/inoperative. Distronic cruise control is also not working, despite me cleaning the front of the car.
I really appreciate all the help.

From your "advanced" scanner picture I will start with the yellow/red LED from the left mirror
Thanks very much. I really appreciate it. Would you have any suggestions about Pre-safe being inoperative? Because of this, Distronic also is not working.
