Hood latch won't engage.

[freew]

2007 Focus wagon and the hood latch that keep it locked in place isn't engaging. The secondary one that you manually release to open the hood is working ok. I soaked it down with WD40 but no luck. The lever that the release wire pulls on to release the latch is moving freely when I use a screwdriver to push it, but there is no movement in the primary locking latch. Seems like something inside has slipped so that the lever doesn't move the latch anymore. Any help appreciated!
