To open a jammed hood on a 2003 Hyundai raise the vehicle's front end. Safely stabilize it and take a flashlight under the car to locate the latch. Use a flat head screwdriver to manipulate the latch and open it.
lmao a 79 chevy shouldnt have a cable.... its just a hand latch in the grill..
you can get to the latch through the grill
Remove the grill, cut the cable and pull it with a pair of pliers or vice grips. It might even be possible to push the release on the latch manually, after the grill is removed.
reach up between the grill and the radiator/ac cooler and pull on what's left of the cable.
If the cable is broken at the handle in the car, you may be able to grap the broken cable with a pair of locking pliers. If you can, pull it while you have someone pushing down on the hood. That will make it easier for it to unlatch. If it's broken where you can't reach it, oh boy, you may be able to grab the cable housing through the grill, cut it and grab the inner cable that way. Hope this helps. Good luck. 1
i dont know if your grill is like my 98 s 10 but i did the same thing. to open i just pulled the front grill off, it just snaps on with clips then you can find the broken cable and pull it viola it open IF YOU CAN GET YOUR GRILL OFF! Probably depends on where it is broken but before you resort to a crowbar, go to any body shop. They'll probably show you how or pop it open for free.

Is the cable broken or just the handle that you pull? If just the handle, you should be able to pull the cable with a pair of pliers. Have someone push down on the hood just a little bit while you pull. May also need to pry the hood up also. If and when you get it up, lubricate the latch with anything, oil, WD40, something. If it is broken where you cannot get to, you may be able to get the grill out, or possible get the cable to come thru the grill and pulling on it there.
Take the grill out and remove the bolts holding the latch on.
Reach under the front of your car between the radiator and the grill and pull the wire down. That will unhook your hood latch. Replace the cable.
omg u Have to go thru the grill and pull the release latch
If it is just the inside handle broken off you can pull the cable with a pair of pliers. If it is in the middle, you should be able to reach up from underneath and cut the cable and then pull the inside cable. If the latch end has pulled off, you may be able to trip the latch from underneath, or take the grill out and unbolt the latch.
