I assume you have tried opening it by pulling the hood release lever. Determine the cause of the hood not opening. If the release handle for the hood doesn't retract back into position after you pull it, it's likely that the cable leading to the latch is broken. If the release handle retracts as usual and you can feel it trying to release the latch, it may be the latch itself that is broken. It is more common for the latch to be broken or jammed than for the cable to be broken. Rule out the hood being jammed shut before you proceed as if the latch is broken. Have another person stand in front of the car and pull up on the hood while you stay inside the car and pull on the hood release cable. This may help unjam the hood if that is the problem. If this still doesn't help the hood lift up, you can proceed as if the latch unit is broken. Shine a flashlight through the front grill of the car to locate the latch unit. Once you can see it, use a screwdriver to go through the front grill and manipulate the screwdriver in different ways, trying to open the latch. The latch is spring loaded, so it may take pressure to open the latch manually. Be careful to stay away from the condenser for the air conditioning unit--the screwdriver could puncture a hole in it if you don't keep it only on the latch assembly.
How do you unlock the car from the outside
Some cars can be unlocked from under the hood if the center console for the central locking has its wires in the hood. The unlock wires are usually have a (-ve) current and that means that if you hook one switch wire up to chassis earthing wire and the other to the unlock wire it can unlock all the doors.
Just pull the hood release inside the car. Use your key to unlock the door.
Every car ever made is just a cable to open the hood. Use your key to unlock the door and pull the cable marked "hood".
There is none... But Ask the firemen how they open the hood when the engine is on fire & the car is locked...
To "pop the hood" first pull the hood release inside the car. It is on the drivers side next to the door and below the dash. Then outside the car release the hood safely latch, and raise the hood. Then put the hood prop up.
Pulling the latch cable inside the car, then going around the hood and pounding on it with your fist will normally unlock the hood, unless your cable is frozen. If the cable is frozen, its probly best to wait for warm weather, or to borrow someones garage for a day, and let it defrost itself.
A key. Not only a key, but a key that works specifically with your car.
You can open the trunk and door with a key and then pull the hood lever when you have access to the inside of car.
No, the hood is ON the car, not in it.
u have to click the switch in the car and it should automaticaly unlock and then you can open it, this is for hot-wire safety
The starter on a 2000 Ford Focus LX is located under the hood. If you are outside of the car and facing the hood, it is on the right side.
