It is a little tricky, but can be done. Get under car and look up towards the latch area. Take a screw driver and reach up on pasenger side of latch (top area) and start feeling around (you will not see anything as on top) and push on the release lever (push towards the drivers side). If lucky, you will get it to pop open. It takes me about 10 seconds. If not, keep feeling and pushing slightly.......you will hit it. If you can, look at another 92 Pontiac's hood release system. It will make sense and one can see it is not that hard if you have a general idea where the lever is. Added information: Sorry, do not want to make it sound that simple "it takes me about 10 seconds". It does take a bit of work and at times it takes me a 10 seconds and other times much, much, longer....just depends how lucky I am............but I always get it. Once I replace the whole cable I will fill you in on that process as it will take some work to do that. Mark

Our 2004 Saturn Vue hood release can be opened (if the cable is not broken) by disconnecting the cable from the back of the release lever, grabbing the ball on the end of the cable with some large pliers ("channel locks") and pulling hard. A metal "wire keeper" bracket clamped to the cable end under the hood to serve as a spacer and the release lever works.

How do you get the hood up on a Buick LeSabre when it will not release to the safety catch?
That depends on a few things. If the cable has broken at the release handle, you can use Vice Grips or pliers to grab the end of the cable and pull. If the hood is stuck down you can have a helper pull up on the hood while you work the release in the car. If the cable has broken at the latch consult a pro for help. If you get a helper to hold the the hood release open on the inside and tap lightly, with the side of your fist, on the front of your hood just above the grill. This will usually work if the cable is not broken.
