To fix hood latch on a 2001 Old Intrigue, locate the hood locking mechanism from inside the grill. Use a wire to make a loop. Put this loop around the hook of the locking mechanism. Push down on the hood and pull the wire in the opposite direction. Then have another person pull the hood up while the hook is pulled with pliers from the underside of the vehicle.
