To open the hood when the cable is broken on a 1997 Silverado, you can try using a coat hanger to manipulate the latch and push it away from you. You could also try using a long screwdriver to move the hood latch.

How much cable came out when broke? Cut the plastic cable back to the point where you can see the steel cable core and pull with vice grips to open. You can pull the cable around to handle easier.If it broke under the hood try to find the cable and do the same.

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.

i had the same problem. the hood release is controlled by a cable. what i had to do was take off the cover by the driver side seat,grab the cable with a pair of vise gripps and pull the wire in the cable with a pair of pliers. it sounds crude but that's the only way to get the hood up. by the way,i would take it somewhere to get the cable replaced.it's buried!!!!!

How do you open a hood with a broken latch cable on a 1997 Dodge Intrepid?
i have a 1994 pnotiac sunbird that the handle broke off on the cable under the dash to open the hood. you can open the hood with a little patience and a fairly long screwdriver by releasing the latch under the hood. after this, on my sunbird, i just pulled the cable all the way out under the hood, tied it under the front of the car, and just pull it to release the switch. (thats only because i am too cheap and lazy to spend the money and time on a cable and install it.)
