If the cable itself is still there get a pair of Vise Grip pliers and you should be able to pull it. If the cable is broken up inside the housing then you will need to remove the grill insert. I have a 92 Corsica and there were 4 screws that held this item in place. Reach up and move the lever that the small cable is attached and the hood should pop up as normal.

How do you open a bonnet on a Fiat Palio Go 2006 when the latch is broken?
The latch is broken, not the cable. You can still get to the cable where it is attached to the latch in the foot-well of the car. Grab the cable with a small vice-grip (or similar) and pull. Note that it is very unlikely the cable will break -the latch typically breaks before the cable since the latch is made from plastic and the cable from steel wire.

MAKE SURE TO LEAVE STRING IN THE CAB OF THE CAR. TIE THE END OF THE NEW CABLE (DEALER PART ONLY, ABOUT $35)TO THE STRING. PULL THE STING FROM THE TOP. YOU WILL SEE THE CABLE COME THRU. FOLLOW THE PATH OF THE OLD CABLE TO THE LATCH. DICONNECT FROM THE LATCH AND REPLACE WITH THE NEW CABLE. RECONNECT THE LATCH INSIDE OF THE CAR TO THE PLASTIC

This depends on where it snapped, but usally it breaks inside the car, where it connects to the latch release, anyway you have to fish for the cable itself thru your grille, use a wire hanger bent back at the end about a 1/2", hook the cable closest to the latch itself, attach the hanger to the wire, not the sheath, and pull

It depends on what is wrong with the cable. When you pull the hood release within the car, is the latch not popping? If you can get the hood up at all, then you should look at the actual latch system where the cable runs, there is a metal clip that holds the cable to the latch. Have another person pull the interior latch release and watch the cable.
