The hood on a Volvo S60 can be opened when the latch is not working by sticking a stiff piece of wire into the grill and pulling on the release latch. The latch can then be repaired or replaced.

How do you open a stuck hood on Volvo s70?

To open a stuck hood on a Volvo S70, first, check if the hood release lever inside the car is fully pulled. If the hood remains stuck, gently press down on the hood while a second person pulls the release lever to relieve tension. If that doesn't work, you may need to access the latch mechanism directly by using a long, thin tool through the grille to manually release the latch. Always exercise caution to avoid damaging the hood or latch components.

I had problems with my hood latch on a 1993 Le Sabre. My mechanic showed me how to open the hood. Pull the lever back just enough to pop the latch. Do not pull the lever any further than that or it will not work. Once you get the hang of it you will have no problems. Good luck.

How do i open the hood of my 2002 ram if the latch cable doesn't work?

If the cable or lever isn't "broken" try this, first be sure the hood is shut tight then operate the hood release, then go around to the front of the vehicle and by using the side of your fist give the front of the hood a firm thump. Sometimes this will release the hood from the latch. If it opens give the latch mechanism a good lubrication before you shut the hood.


I have a 1991 gmc Oldsmobile any suggestions on how to open the hood when the cable doesn't work?

Either hold down slightly on the hood and pull the latch or hold the latch and pull up on the hood. The lock becomes dry and doesn't release. Spray with WD40 or similar product.


How do you open the hood when the cable on the hood latch is broken.?

As with any car question it depends on the vehicle. You could try prying the hood open with your hands or taking a flat tool to use for a lever to pry it open. You could also try jacking up the car and if you have a long enough arm you oculd work the latch from underneath. If you know how to do it yourself you could replace the hood cable as well. Best of luck
