It depends on what is wrong with the cable. When you pull the hood release within the car, is the latch not popping? If you can get the hood up at all, then you should look at the actual latch system where the cable runs, there is a metal clip that holds the cable to the latch. Have another person pull the interior latch release and watch the cable.

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 open the hood of a 1989 Chevy Celebrity when the hood cable is broken?
If the cable is broken on the inside of the car it isn't too difficult. Simply pull the cable out of the hood release bracket. Then peel back the outer housing to the small inner cable and pull that to release the hood latch. I have done that and it works. On the other hand if the cable broke on the latch release lever under the hood that gets somewhat more difficult. I have never had that problem but if I did this is what I would try first. Take out the six screws that hold the grill in from the outside. Then reach up through the opening to the left side of the latch. Make a hook on the end of a rod and insert that between the latch bracket and the top of the radiator support and attempt to catch the latch release lever and pull back to release the latch. It might take several tries but it might work. Then there is another alternative. Take it to a body shop and see if they have some easier trick to open the latch. That might be a lot easier.

Fiero Front Hood Release?
The fiero front hood release cable has an extra cable tucked inside the release lever housing. If they're both broke then you'll have to use a crowbar and lightly pry up on the hood but be extremely carefull not to break the fiberglass hood. Take a long flat tipped screw driver and remove the foam padding around the latch then take a 10mm stubby wrench and remove the 2 bolts holding the latch to the car then just raise the hood and trip the latch. Remove the old cable and install a new one.
