Assuming the cable is not broken, I would have a assistant pull on the lever from within the car and then I would go to the front an give the hood a sharp rap right over the catch with the palm of my hand. If cable is not broken, this should get it open . Reajust the catch mechanisim to insure that this does not happen again.I hope this helps you. Mark
