how do you open the hood on a 1992 buick regal if the cable is broke
cable broke release latch for the hood can't open it
How much cable came out when broke? Cut the plastic cable back to the point where you can see the steel cable core and pull with vice grips to open. You can pull the cable around to handle easier.If it broke under the hood try to find the cable and do the same.
Ecklers has the replacement cable and "Installation instructions" which show how to get the hood open so you can relace the cable. Tried to attach the diagram, but no attachment tool here.
Reach up under the center with a long screwdriver and open it.
pry bar and duc tape
grab the broken end of the cable with vice grips and pull it
if your latch just broke, use a vice grip. if the cable itself has snapped, it gets tricker. my 2nd cutlass's cable snapped. i had to lift and jerk the hood manually until it came loose.
the 71 cutlass has no cable pull on latch in the middle of grill or just below frt. bumper
If the cable is broke you can crawl under and manually release the hood. It isn't too bad, the area is open and visible from under the car.
