To open the hood on a '95 Grand Am, when the release cable is unattached, the grill must be removed. Once the grill is removed, the hood release lever may be reached with a pair of long pliers. Raise the hood and trace the cable to see where it has come undone. If it has come undone at the release?æ lever, it may be reattached. If it has broken, it will need replaced.

If the cable release is broken for the hood on a 2002 Kia Spectra, a person could crawl under the car and see if they can locate the broken part of the cable. If it is still attached to the hood, they could pull it to trip the hood latch. Otherwise, the car will have to be put on a hoist, and a long pole used to trip the hood latch.

What if your hood latch cable broke and you cant pop your hood on a 2003 jeep?
I have a '93 Jeep Cherokee. I had the same issue with my hood release handle breaking from the cable. I was able to release the hood without cutting holes or taking the front lights out. You have to simply unscrew the release handle from its mounts(3 screws on the inside of the jeep). Remember the handle was attached to a long sheath that is covering the actual cable. Most likely the actual cable is still attached to the hood release. Once the handle assembly is released, pull on the black sheath only, (NOT the actual metal cable) using a pair of pliers. It will take some force as you have to pull the entire sheath all the way out. What will be left is the metal cable. pull on the cable using the same pliers and there you have it....A HOOD THAT IS OPEN! AWESOME!

1997 Grand Jeep Cherokee How do you repair the hood release and cable It will not hold the hood down all the way. The secondary release or whatever it is called still works but hood is still ajar?
If your hood release cable is still good then most likey cause is a sticky or rusty release mechanizim under the hood where the cable ends. (Open the hood by moving the secondary latch). Loosen it up by spraying it with WD 40 or something similar. Work it back and forth to free it up. I recently bought an old Jeep that had a broken release cable due to the release mechanizim being rusty. I replaced the cable and lubed everything making it work like new.
