I have the same problem with my 1998 GMC Jimmy. I have been using a needle-nose pliers to grab the cable. Sucks! Must be a common problem. Anybody know how to repair this problem? Can I order just the end of the cable with the pull knob or do I have to order the entire cable? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.
If the cable is broken at the handle, you can have someone push down on the hood so you can grab the end of the cable with vice grips. That will get the hood open.You can only buy the cable assembly from GM for around $40. Includes the handle all the way to the hood. Replacing the assy is a total pain for my 2001. Involves removing the air filter box, windshield wiper reservoir, a panel under the dash and moving the E brake assy to remove the old one.
Good luck.
