The hood is openned by a cable that links the handle in the car the hood latch. If the cable is broken or detached then the hood will not open. The cable has two parts, an outer covering and the actual cable that pulls on the hood latch when the inside handle is pulled, you need to check the inside handle to see if the cable is still attached to the handle, also you need to check the hood latch to see if that end is still attached to the hood latch. If either is disconnected the you will need to get appropriate hardware(nuts,bolts etc) to attach it back but if the cable is broken it has to be replaced complete. This you might or might not be able to do depending on you skill and proficiency with tools.

Where is the door switch located on a 2000 Yukon?
I went crazy looking for the door jamb switch on my 2001 Denali. It's attached to the locking mechanism inside the door. The latch has a gear which drives a mating gear that activates the switch. When you pull the door handle, the latch opens and the gear moves.

How do you open the hood and repair a broken wire connection to a locked hood latch on a 1991 Buick Century?
need pictures. First remove the front grill assembly (usally six screws). You will be able to see underneath the hood latch. Get an old wire coat hanger and bend a hook in one end, work this underneath the latch until you grab the latch and pull sideways (to the right) until the latch pops. You may have to do this several times but it will work. I had to do it on my 94 Buick. Go to a junkyard and pick up a used cable assembly and install it. Good luck. . I used the same coathanger to open the hood instead of running a new cable . I hook it up to the connector on the hood latch , ran it out thru the grill and place a small handle on the coat hanger and it opens right up. boy am i cheap

There are really just a few causes for this. Either the fuse or switch is bad or check there is power to the rear mechanism that opens. If so then the lock could be froze or if not, then could be a broken wire along the way.
