How do you open a 1991 RS Camaro hood when cable is snaped?
Depending on where it snaps, if theres any way to get some vise grips on the broken cable do so. If not you will have to take out all the bolts for the front clip you can get to and bend it up till you can get a long screwdriver (flat) to pop the latch.

How does an AUX cable stay plugged into the port?
Most cable plugs are held just by friction, but some types have a notch that a spring loaded contact in the receptacle catches on to lock the connector in place (e.g. phone plugs, miniphone plugs) once it is fully seated. But when you get to more advanced and modern specialty cables (e.g. RJ11 telephone, Ethernet) a spring loaded release latch is incorporated that snaps when the cable is inserted and completely prevents the cable from being accidentally removed. But of course no type of AUX cable uses or needs this.
2006 gmc canyon and the hood release broke how can you open the hood?
I suspect you ran into the same challenge as I did. The hood release cable is either rusted or jammed or broken in its sleeve and the hood won't release. To get the hood open on an as needed basis until you can replace the faulty cable you can gain access as follows: 1. The grill is an entire single piece of plastic that is held in by snaps. There is one above and below each headlight on each side. All the other connectors are just guides and do not snap in place. 2. Grab the grill / headlight piece and pull it off from one side at a time starting with the top. Only pull it out about one inch. Then the bottom snap. Move to the far side and repeat. The entire grill will now fall out so hold on. Each headlight has about a foot of headlight wire attached. It is strong enough to hold the grill while hanging if you are working alone. 3. Now you can see the entire hood latch.. You will see where the release cable connects to the latch. Bending way down , look under the latch and you will see the inner release cable coming out of the shielded portion. With a pair of small vice grips grab that wire and give a smart direct tug. This will "pop" the latch. 4. Now you can use the traditional safety latch handle for the secondary closure. Do what you want to do and then simply reverse the process. When reversing be sure to put the bottom snap in first then the top one then move to the other side bottom then top. Be sure the other snapo guide holes are aligned before snapping in any of the snaps. They are all plastic. Hope this helps. I have been doing this fr a wekk now as I await the new cable. cheers
