you take a hammer and smash it no i took the dash apart and found were the cable broke and pull it there and fix it before u close it
It depends on what is wrong with the cable. When you pull the hood release within the car, is the latch not popping? If you can get the hood up at all, then you should look at the actual latch system where the cable runs, there is a metal clip that holds the cable to the latch. Have another person pull the interior latch release and watch the cable.
Climb under the front of the engine compartment with a coat hanger and a flashlight, reach up and grab the latch and pull it down.
There is a screwdriver slot behind the grill that will operate the hood latch. Look for it on the driver's side.
You can do this buy removing the plastic front radiator grill. You need to remove indicator lights, then the middle screw, then with a small flat screw driver release the plastic clips just underneath the bonnet. Then put your hand behind the bonnet catch and pull the broken cable or the latch and it will open. Good luck
go through the grill and use a heavy duty screwdriver to pry back the latch

a pry bar
Remove the plastic grill inserts from the front of the vehicle. Once removed you should be able to see the cable thatg leads to the hood latch. Use a pair of pliers or (needle nose pliers) and pull back on the cable(wire). Remember, the wire runs inside the black casing. Pulling on the entire black cable will do you no good. Pull on the wire. That should do the trick.
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.
there is a cable that runs from the trunk release lever to the latch inside the trunk. you should be able to disconnect it from the latch inside the trunk
