get a hanger and straighten out . put small hook in one end. then crawl under front of van. if you get under far enough you will see the latch. just hook it with the wire and pull.(the latch has a hole in the drivers side of it).

How do you open the hood when the cable brakes on a 1997 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme. the cable broke loose at the latch?
i had the same problem. the hood release is controlled by a cable. what i had to do was take off the cover by the driver side seat,grab the cable with a pair of vise gripps and pull the wire in the cable with a pair of pliers. it sounds crude but that's the only way to get the hood up. by the way,i would take it somewhere to get the cable replaced.it's buried!!!!!
How do you open hood on explorer when cable is broken?
this ones not really hard but it's not easy by any means what you have to do is get in through the headlight and take off the grill if possible if you can't do that you have to get a tool that fits the bolt between the grill and the hood, Take the bolts that hold the latch on completely off and from there you should be able to get the hood open, take the latch apart by hand and reinstall on the hood, replace the cable make sure it works the pieces before closing the hood and you should be good to go be careful and good luck
How can you pop the hood of your 1987 Honda CRX HF if the cable to the hood latch came loose and the bolts to remove the front end are under the hood?
my hood release cable broke in my 1986 Honda accord. We had to remove the front bumper, and the metal piece behind that, and we were able to remove the bottom of the hood latch, and now I drive it daily on the interstate held down with an alon wrench in the screw hole, and 2 bungee cords (just in case) never had a problem.
Can't release 1998 Toyota tercel hood latch cable inside won't retract?
Try to get under the car and release it manually by pulling the latch (under the hood) where the wire comes out of the cable. This may require the removal of splashshielding and a flash light . Then once you have the hood open trace the release cable to inspect for damage or rust replace if necessary The latch it self may be the problem, if it is rusty spray it with a rust penetrent ,work it loose then oil it. Always use jack stands on a proper surface (level unbroken concrete) if you need to lift the car!
How can you pop the hood of your 1987 Honda CRX HF if the cable to the hood latch came loose and the bolts to take off the front end are under the hood?
I had a very similar problem on my 1987 Civic sedan. You will need to jack up the front end, remove the flat plate just to the left of center behind the bumper, and with a long screwdriver locate and push up on the latch release. Once the hood pops open and you release the second safety latch, you will need to jerry-rig or replace the cable. Good luck.
