cable broke release latch for the hood can't open it
how do you open the hood on a 1992 buick regal if the cable is broke
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.
I had the same problem with my 1995 LHS. The only remedy is to carry a set of pliers in your glove box. I replaced the cable handle once but it broke again.
I have a 1995 Vandura and power sofa fuse is under hood. There is a fuse block there too with iterior electronic gizmos on it.
where your latch is broken at you can use a pair of pliers and pull the exposed cable wire and it should open best thing when u open it replace the cable wire
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.
Ecklers has the replacement cable and "Installation instructions" which show how to get the hood open so you can relace the cable. Tried to attach the diagram, but no attachment tool here.
the cable is either stretched or broke
the 71 cutlass has no cable pull on latch in the middle of grill or just below frt. bumper
if the cable broke at the handle inside the car there will be a black cable with steel cable inside cut the black cable back so you see the steel cable get a par of visegrip pliers and pole the steel cable til the hood opens.
