How can you pop the hood of your 1987 Honda CRX HF if the cable to the hood latch came loose and the bolts to take off the front end are under the hood?
I had a very similar problem on my 1987 Civic sedan. You will need to jack up the front end, remove the flat plate just to the left of center behind the bumper, and with a long screwdriver locate and push up on the latch release. Once the hood pops open and you release the second safety latch, you will need to jerry-rig or replace the cable. Good luck.
What else can I help you with?

The battery of a 1997 Honda Civic is dead and the hood latch is broken how can I get the hood open?
Just had this happen to me... hope you don't mind unbolting stuff. I had my car parked for a year, and the latch had rust shut. The hood release cable wasn't able to budge the release at all. Unbolt the bottom bolts and screws of the front fender. That should leave the top part under the hood still attached. You should be able to pry the bottom part of the fender enough to work on the latch from under the car. Pull off the bottom part of the fender as much as you can. Go underneath the car and locate the hood latch. Take a 10mm wrench and remove the three bolts holding the latch in place. Remove the hood release cable from the latch. The hood should open now. Good luck!

How do you open the hood of your 1993 Toyota pickup when the release cable came unhooked?
if the cable is still attached to the latch, then cut it to length where it sets right below your lower valence. just crouch in front of car, and pull cable. if cable is not attached to latching device, use a screw driver to remove the latch support beam(i think it has three bolts) and wiggle your hood up and down, slowly moving the screwdriver towards the latch. with some luck you can jimmy it open. or sawzall the hood off!
