The easy way to open the hood manually on a 1998 Chevy Cavalier, when the cable is not working is to put the car on a hoist and use a long pole to trip the hood latch. Then lower the vehicle and open the hood the rest of the way. Replace or repair the cable for the hood latch before closing the hood.
where is my hood latch located on my 1999 Chevy silverado pickup
The air bag module on a 2005 Chevy Cavalier is located under the passenger side seat. The sensor for the airbag is usually located close to the hood latch.
Lubricate hood latch assembly and cables liberally with WD-40 or similar
Hi, I have a link below that shows several views of the hood latch for a 2001 model Venture, but I am pretty sure they are the same between these years. Good Luck, Greg
i have a Chevy s-10 1990 and the hood wont release, and the latch is broke. what should i do
Stick a long screwdriver between the hood and the the small trim piece in the front middle of vehicle and try to locate the small latch that the cable would pull if it was there. It will take some force but push it to the right when facing the front of the vehicle. After this disengages then you should be able to open your hood with the finger latch. A flashlight helps.
The EGR valve is directly under the hood on the 89 Cavalier.
Answer: It took me a while to find it too. Its under the bumper. but as soon as you release that latch you have to lift the hood and release the second latch in the usual place under the hood.
If you remove the grill from the front of the truck you can then access the safety latch and hood release. My latch had rusted so I had to do this using a flat head screw driver and lifting the safety latch which allowed for the hood release to open.
You can get your 1994 Chevy S 10 pickup truck hood latch unstuck by spraying a lubricant on the latching mechanism. You can also remove the hood latch retaining bolts to bypass the stock release cable.
