To open the hood on the 2000 Beetle if the hood release lever is broken inside the car, you can remove the glove compartment of the vehicle and find the release cable inside the dashboard. Pull the cable to open the hood. You will then need to replace the hood release lever.?æ
My 1998 Lexus LS400 has a small lever to pull that releases the trunk. The lever is on the left side of the dash about 8 to 10" from the door.This lever can be locked with the key, so that the trunk cannot be accessed without unlocking the lever with the key. Note that the Valet Key cannot be used to unlock this lever. Note that the gas fill door release is to the left of the trunk release lever.
Next to impossible. A new release lever will need to be installed. Take it to the Toyota dealer ... they built it, they know how to repair it.
Get someone to hold the hood release lever while you pull up on the hood.
You can open a hood on a 1995 Chrysler LeBaron convertible gtc from the outside if your lever is broken. All you have to do is get a pair of vise grips and pull the cable which will release the hood.
If it is one that pops open when you pull a lever inside the car (by the driver's leg, usually), the spring is probably broken. Have someone pull that lever while you open the door (keep the latch unlocked by pulling the lever until you have the door open) and try to find the release mechanism. From there, you should be able to tell if the spring is broken - if so, go to an auto store with that spring in hand to find a new one. ----
a hood release lever is a lever that releases the hook in the front of the car so it can pop open.
To open the hood of a 2004 Lexus RX 330, first, locate the hood release lever inside the vehicle, which is typically found on the driver's side near the footwell. Pull the lever to release the hood latch. Then, go to the front of the vehicle, slide your hand under the hood to find the secondary latch, and push it to the side while lifting the hood. Finally, secure the hood with the prop rod if necessary.
Have a helper pull and hold the hood release lever, then use a pry bar to lift the hood enough to get your fingers in to unlatch the release at the front of the hood.
I had to jam something on the release lever inside the door, and go around and manually pull the door open. The cause is that the spring had broken. The catch was being released, but nothing was pushing the door open. I have to buy a new spring and install it once it was open
To release the bonnet on a Citroen C4 with a broken release lever, you can try accessing the mechanism directly. Use a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to pry open the bonnet slightly at the front, then reach under the grille to locate the latch. Gently pull the latch towards you to release the bonnet. If this method fails, consider using a professional service to avoid any damage.
The release lever is on drivers side floor by the seat there is also lever for the trunk right in front of it
