How can you open your 2002 Kia Spectra hood if the cable release is broken?
If the cable release is broken for the hood on a 2002 Kia Spectra, a person could crawl under the car and see if they can locate the broken part of the cable. If it is still attached to the hood, they could pull it to trip the hood latch. Otherwise, the car will have to be put on a hoist, and a long pole used to trip the hood latch.

How do you open a hood with the cable broken under the hood.?
I have done this in the past on some vehicles. Try to look through the grill and locate the hood latch mechanism. If you can see and reach the cable, grab it with a pair of needle nose plyers or such and pull hard to release the catch. If the cable is not visable, try a long screw driver to push the latch open. Hope this helps. Good luck! LDE

How do you fix a Broken cable on hood latch for 1994 Buick Roadmaster?
Remove the grill to access the broken cable. Cut the cable or see if the latch can be pushed manually. Broken cables have to be replaced totally. There are 2 or 3 screws under the dash and you will have to remove the bottom dash panel if it is still there. There are several plastic clips under the hood that can be reused, just follow the cable to find them. and there is a rubber grommet on the cable holding it in the firewall, this can be pushed into the car from under the hood and the new one pushed back in with a screwdriver. Other than that it is easy to remove the old cable from the latch and install the new one. You can get a good cable fairly cheap from a junk yard, just make sure the one you get is not damaged or corroded. Or if you prefer, a new replacement cable can be used.

How would i open my hood when the hood release is broken?
Broken at the handle in the passenger compartment? Use vice grips on the cable. Pull the handle and nothing happens or cable just pulls out? Crawl under front and reach up and release the latch manually. No way huh. Okay, this is rather drastic but... (cough) fire attack personnal will cut a square hole(saw-n-spark) right above where that latch is located in the hood itself in the event of an engine fire. Now, I don't know what car you have, but without that release cable working there's not many options. Body work, or used hood replacement (junkyard) may be the answer to your bummer. ps. but don't call the fire dept. c-ya grade a da mopar man! Hi, I'm wondering where the hood release is broken? I'll take that the idea that the releasehandle is broken. The glove box needs to be removed and you can grab the cable from under the dash where the cable is. The worst case is if it's broken inside the engine compartment at the latch, The idea that I have is to remove the grill and reach from there to release the latch. I've just gone and looked at the situation and it does look as if, with a bit of work, you can locate and releaqse the latch by removing the grill. Hopefully, the latch is rusty and needs to be lubed to work but if it's broken, then buy the new cable assy which loos as it might contain the latch assy too. Hope this helps and good luck. Steve H.
