how to get a 2001 isuzu trooper hood open if release cable is broken
To open the hood on a 2001 mercury cougar when the hood latch cable snaps you will need to release the mechanism from the underside. You will need a mechanics prybar and look up from underneath the car, place the screwdriver tip in the release mechanism and turn.
Have somebody hold the hood release cable in at the handle while you close the hood. If it works, your cable may be over stretched.
How do you replace the tail gate latch on a Ford f150
Two ways- Stick a long screwdriver through the rear grill and push the latch where the cable is connected to release the lock or remove the grill and grab where the cable connects to the latch and move it to the right.
my 2001 does the same thing. its the spring in the latch release. I have to have my wife sit in the car and keep popping the hood release while i push in and up and down on the hood right where the latch release is over and over and eventually it gives. Once you get the hang of it you can do it by yourself.
Actually it should only pop the hood a little bit, the interior latch release is an anti theft device designed to keep people out of your engine compartment. The second latch release inside the grille is meant to completely open the hood, the double latch system also saves you from having the hood hit the windshield if the latch fails while driving, or you forget to latch it completely.
how do you replace a choke cable on a 2001 Honda 450 foreman
get a hanger and straighten out . put small hook in one end. then crawl under front of van. if you get under far enough you will see the latch. just hook it with the wire and pull.(the latch has a hole in the drivers side of it).
take a long thin screwdriver and stick it into the "hole" where the cable goes into the latch. Pry from right to left, this will pop the hood. I just had it happen to my 2000 Dakota.
