The cable between the latch and the handle may be broken or needs adjustement to shorten the cable so that the latch will fully release.
how to get a 2001 isuzu trooper hood open if release cable is broken
dodge truck broken hood latch
The latch is broken, not the cable. You can still get to the cable where it is attached to the latch in the foot-well of the car. Grab the cable with a small vice-grip (or similar) and pull. Note that it is very unlikely the cable will break -the latch typically breaks before the cable since the latch is made from plastic and the cable from steel wire.
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.
From under car... its not too bad on a lift you can find cable near the hood need to get the inner wire and pull with pliers
the hood latch is not releasing this could be due to a stuck/broken hood latch or something wrong with the release mechanism (broken/stuck cable, handle came off of cable, etc...) use screwdriver(s) through your grille to pull the lever that would be pulled from the cable. best thing to do is get a new hood latch from local parts store and look at it to figure out how it works so you know just what to press/pull/activate on the car -R.

omg u Have to go thru the grill and pull the release latch
If you shine a flashlight into the front grille, you might be able locate a small (pea-sized) c-shaped hook in the latch. If you can see it, place a screwdriver in there and pull firmly to the right. This is a manual release mechanism that will trip the hood open, in lieu of the cable.
Remove the grill, cut the cable and pull it with a pair of pliers or vice grips. It might even be possible to push the release on the latch manually, after the grill is removed.
you can get to the latch through the grill
