All you need to do is find the hood cable through the grill or by going underneath the car then just pull on it. You may not hear a pop but just pull on it and then try to open it like you normally would. After you have it open you may want to remove the front upper grill because it will be extremely easy to open next time.

How do you manually release the hood when hood release seems not connected to cable on Honda Civic 1995?

have you tried using two people at a time to open the hood - one to pull on up on the hood while the other pulls the interior release? only way my '94 Accord would open. (or I prised release open with a screw-driver and pulled the hood myself) hope it helps Yeah, I tried that to no avail. The cable seems to be broken at the latch mechanism. I don't think I can remove the grill, either, without the hood open. I can get a screw driver into the hood space but there doesn't seem to be any access to the catch spring. Anyone have any other thoughts? This happened with my daughter's '96 Accord, I don't know if it will work on a Civic. I crawled under the front of the car and "carefully" slid a long metal rod up past the radiator and pushed on the release lever for the hood.
