Want this question answered?
Pull on it with a pliers or locking pliers. This happened to me after a couple days of extreme cold.
if your latch just broke, use a vice grip. if the cable itself has snapped, it gets tricker. my 2nd cutlass's cable snapped. i had to lift and jerk the hood manually until it came loose.
If you mean the cable that goes to your latch and its snapped or something easiest way to do it is basicly grab a hold of the cable and pull on it and of latch would.
if the cable broke at the handle inside the car there will be a black cable with steel cable inside cut the black cable back so you see the steel cable get a par of visegrip pliers and pole the steel cable til the hood opens.
The hood release cable is in the glove box in the upper right corner
unbolt old bolt in new done.
Have somebody hold the hood release cable in at the handle while you close the hood. If it works, your cable may be over stretched.
how to get a 2001 isuzu trooper hood open if release cable is broken
If there is any cable showing at the handle just pull on it with a pair of pliers. You can probably take the grill out and get to the cable there. grab a pair of little vice grips get it on the wire keep em there till u get it fixed
Type your answer here... It's in the glove box...... of all places
by pulling the hood popper and then putting your hand under the hood, to the right fiddling around until you find something you can move to open the hood.
To open the hood on a 2001 mercury cougar when the hood latch cable snaps you will need to release the mechanism from the underside. You will need a mechanics prybar and look up from underneath the car, place the screwdriver tip in the release mechanism and turn.
