How do you open the hood of a 2005 Pontiac Sunfire if you bought it without an owner's manual?

Answer 1

wow? Generaly speaking, there should be a hood release inside the cabin, probably under the dash or on the kick panel on the driver's side of the car. Once you find that and release it, the hood should pop up an inch or two.Go to the front of the car and slip your fingers into that gap and feel around for the other release handle. My car is older than yours, but the release handle under the hood is to the right of center. I have to sort of feel around for it. Yours might be a little elusive too. Once you find it, lift it or move it left or right to operate it, then raise the hood. Remember there is probably a prop rod to hold the hood open. The days of spring loaded hoods are almost gone, I'm afraid. If you can't find it, drop by any GM dealership and ask them. They'll be happy to help you, I'm sure.
