The same way many open, from inside pull the release handle on the lower part of drivers side dash then go outside and move the lever under the front of the hood to release the second safety latch.
I go crazy everytime I have to open the hood on my 98 Chevy Astro. The guys just say "oh it's a Chevy" and they bang the hood. I have found that if I stick a butter knife unde the hood I can open it. What a pain!
The easy way to open the hood manually on a 1998 Chevy Cavalier, when the cable is not working is to put the car on a hoist and use a long pole to trip the hood latch. Then lower the vehicle and open the hood the rest of the way. Replace or repair the cable for the hood latch before closing the hood.
you will open the hood. hook up the can and open the vavle
put your hand in the gap and push left on the piece of metal in the middle of the hood
Look down as soon as you open the hood!
have someone push down on the hood then pull the hood release
Open the hood, and its right there behind the left headlight.
Pull the hood release cable by your left foot.
lmao a 79 chevy shouldnt have a cable.... its just a hand latch in the grill..
open hood look to ur left on firewall.
Start with making sure the hood is closed tightly, then pull on release lever and hear it click, then go outside a give the front of the hood a firm thump with the side of your fist. This may release the hood latch and the hood will pop open. Once open give the latch assembly and hood hinges a good lubrication.
There is a switch located on the center light fixture on the ceiling above the rear seat. "ON" is on all the time. "OFF" is off all the time. "AUTO" works with the keyless entry, ignition switch and when the doors are open. (2005 equinox)
