Need more info, Year make model? Which end broke? Did you end up pulling out the wire or just the end came off inside the vehicle? If you are not comfortable with pulling the grill or parts of the interior you might be better to go to a bodyshop (or mechanic) and have them replace the cable for you.

How do you open the hood on 1993 Oldsmobile 98 if the inside release cable is broke?
If the cable broke at the pull under the dash, and it is still sticking out of the casing, behind the pull, you should be able to grab the end of the cable with a pair of plyers and give it a yank to pull the cable and open the hood. If it broke somewhere between the pull, inside the car, and the latch, under the hood, best bet would be if you can see under the front of the car and reach up, you can release it that way, by pulling on the cable.

How do you get a hood open after the hood latch cable broke on a Ford Taurus - Mercury Sable?
AnswerI assume the handle broke off in the car. You will have to by a new cable/handle assembly ($30.00) so I would: Cut the remaining handle and end off the cable housing so you can get at the inner cable core. Then take a vise grip and pull on the inner core to release hood latch. New housing/cable assemblies are available at your Ford dealer. get in your floorboard and dismount your dash piece so you can see up under there... this will help you determine where your hood release cable brokeAnswerMy 97 Ford Taurus hood doesn't pop open on its own - however if you pull the pop hood thing and then take a key or screwdriver and slide it under the hood and push up you can pull it up with your hand. This has scratched my hood up but at least I can get it open.
How do you open the hood when the inside hood release is broken on a 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme?
On my 1988 Cutlass Supreme the cable broke at the release point in the car. I was unable to see anything from the outside so in the passenger compartment I took the release handle apart and used a set up pliers to pull the cable and release the hood. There should be just on bolt holding the release in place, it may be covered by the carpet. If it can't be done from the inside you can also reach up from under the front bumper and find the cable where it attaches to the latch. Just pull the cable and the hood should release.
