To open the glove box with a broken latch on a 1997 Volvo 850, you can try gently prying open the glove box door with a flat-head screwdriver or a similar tool. Insert the tool at the top or side of the glove box to create enough space to access the interior. If that doesn't work, you may need to remove the screws or fasteners securing the glove box to the dashboard to gain access. Consider replacing the latch once you have it open to prevent future issues.
To open the glove box in a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee, locate the glove box door on the passenger side of the dashboard. Press the button or latch on the right side of the glove box to release it. Once the latch is disengaged, pull the glove box door down to access the contents inside. If the glove box is stuck, ensure there are no obstructions inside that may be preventing it from opening.
Normally, a locking cylinder is held in by a clip on the back side. You pass the cylinder through the hole in the glovebox and then inside the glovebox you slide a clip over the cylinder to hold it tight to the inside of the glove compartment door. Maybe you just need to the clip. It may have broke. You shouldn't need a whole glovebox door and all unless the part on the glovebox door is broken where the clip attaches to it. Then you may need just the door.
Bar from the handle to the latch is broken or disconnected.
Look up under the handle and there's a hole perpendicular to the front of the glove box. Insert a small screw driver about an inch into the hole and pry gently towards the back of the truck which should release the glove box. It takes some encouragement, but remove the 2 screws holding the latch (from the inside of the glove box) and the latch should come free out the front.

I can't say with 100% certainty, but I know the hood latch on the 07 VNL780 I'm driving is located at the bottom of the steering column. It's possible that the same configuration is used on the 97 - 2004 VNL series trucks.
To fix the door latch on a 1997 Buick Riviera, first, remove the interior door panel by unscrewing any visible screws and carefully prying it off. Inspect the latch mechanism for any debris or broken parts, and lubricate it with a silicone spray if it appears stiff. If the latch is damaged, replace it with a new one by detaching the old latch and installing the new one in reverse order. Reassemble the door panel and ensure everything functions correctly before closing the door.

The 1997 Volvo 850 does not have a MAP sensor but instead has a barometric sensor. The MAP/barometric sensor is located just below and a little toward the passenger cabin on the right (passenger) side from the hood latch. It is bolted with one bolt to the inner fender. Stand on the passenger side and look down you should see it between the windshield washer filler neck and the hood latch. It is quite small and has an electrical plug. It is held in place by one bolt with a 8 mm head. To clarify the hood latches are on each side (not the safety latch in the center.
