how do you open the hood of a 2003 volvo s 80 when the latch will not release
The hood on a Volvo S60 can be opened when the latch is not working by sticking a stiff piece of wire into the grill and pulling on the release latch. The latch can then be repaired or replaced.
There should be a cable hanging down from where the latch was. Just grip with a pair of pliers and give it a gentle pull. You will hear a click and then you can release and go to the front of the car and open the bonnet.If the level is slack - it points to a snapped bonnet release cable.To open the bonnet in this situation (on a Fiat Punto), you'll need to get under the car.I jacked up the car, placed it on a stand on the passenger side, and reached up underneath. I've videoed it - quick to do once you see it.http://bit.ly/Yh1dQ9TAG: Fiat Punto, Bonnet Cable, Snapped Bonnet Cable
The bonnet on a Citroen 03 has a double latch, one located in the compartment and the other under the hood in a slight recess. It is necessary to open both to have full access.
There is a lever on the right side of the driver's foot-well.
Sometimes the plastic coupling breaks, the coupling links the cable from the key barrel to the actual locking latch mechanism. Applying pressure to the coupling (pushing the cable towards and into the latch mechanism) and turning the key can open the bonnet if this is the reason why the bonnet is jammed.
The latch is at the bottom of the steering column.
cable broke release latch for the hood can't open it
where is any hood latch? usually located near the drivers left foot, under the dash board.....

actually I broke the hood release latch on my 1991 Plymouth voyager, and I can't get the hood open, what can I do?
Bang the hood above the latch while someone pulls the hood release from in the car. Good luck.
