dealers can do it - they have a way to get in from the engine compartment but won't share how it is done :(
set ur car on fire
cable broke release latch for the hood can't open it
Fix the emergency brake
the cable is either stretched or broke
grab the broken end of the cable with vice grips and pull it
It depends on where its broke at. Is the cable broken at the mechanical part or is it broken before that?
This should help: http://www.realtime.net/~rentner/Blog/B600322026/C958212035/E2026823469/index.html Emergency release if battery is dead: Reach over the drivers side front tire in wheel well. Reach around trim in upper wheel well to find a cable, running front to back, pull toward you and it should release the front hood.
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.
TAke it to the body shop as they have to do it when a car is wrecked.
my Beretta is a 94 and it hood release is broke just the silver cable show ,,, i use needle nose pliers and pull it !
how do you open the hood on a 1992 buick regal if the cable is broke
It is your automatic mirror cable.
