You can get your 1994 Chevy S 10 pickup truck hood latch unstuck by spraying a lubricant on the latching mechanism. You can also remove the hood latch retaining bolts to bypass the stock release cable.
The hood release lever is below the instrument panel, under the steering wheel, in front of the driver side door on the left. You need to release the hood latch to open the hood. The safety hood latch is in the middle of the hood opening.
Under the hood
Use a set of pliers to pull the cable even if the plastic latch is broken...
If you mean the cable that goes to your latch and its snapped or something easiest way to do it is basicly grab a hold of the cable and pull on it and of latch would.
in the glove box
If you remove the grill from the front of the truck you can then access the safety latch and hood release. My latch had rusted so I had to do this using a flat head screw driver and lifting the safety latch which allowed for the hood release to open.
Answer: It took me a while to find it too. Its under the bumper. but as soon as you release that latch you have to lift the hood and release the second latch in the usual place under the hood.
Opening the hood on a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am is very easy to do. The hood is opened by pulling on the hood release latch inside the car on the drivers side. After the latch is pulled the hood will release. The hood is then opened by pulling the second release under the hood.
The hood latch on a 2013 Ford Escape is located in the front of the vehicle under the hood towards the left. Before the hood will open, you will also need to release the hood latch inside your vehicle.
