To unlock the hood you must first jack up the front of the van and set it on secure safe stands. You must be careful during this next section as the battery is still connected and the starter positive terminal is live. *** CAUTION ***Big sparks and burns can happen if you short the terminal to ground***. Insulate the starer wiring terminals with rubber tape. Get underneath the van and remove the starete dust cover attached with one bolt. Remove the two starter bolts and carefully lower it down and support it. Be extra careful of the terminal studs and shorting. You must reach up (it's a long way) to the hood latch and approximately one inch off centre on the drivers side is the latch bar where the cable terminates. Move this bar to the drivers side and the hood will release. Open the hood and remove the ground from the battery. It is now safe to reinstall the the starter without shorting anything out. Put starter in place thread bolts in by hand first then tighten to spec. replace dust cover. You're done

How can you open your 2002 Kia Spectra hood if the cable release is broken?
If the cable release is broken for the hood on a 2002 Kia Spectra, a person could crawl under the car and see if they can locate the broken part of the cable. If it is still attached to the hood, they could pull it to trip the hood latch. Otherwise, the car will have to be put on a hoist, and a long pole used to trip the hood latch.

The reason is because the cable connecting to the latch has already been over stretched. Changing a new cable should rectify your problem.
How do i open the hood of my 2002 ram if the latch cable doesn't work?
If the cable or lever isn't "broken" try this, first be sure the hood is shut tight then operate the hood release, then go around to the front of the vehicle and by using the side of your fist give the front of the hood a firm thump. Sometimes this will release the hood from the latch. If it opens give the latch mechanism a good lubrication before you shut the hood.
