The 1998 Volvo S70 hood release is located on the left of steering wheel down under console. You will find a lever and will need to pull towards you. When you pull the hood up, the latch is located in the center.
The block of wood wedged underneath the hood after having pulled the initial release lever worked for me to release the stuck driver side latch. Giving it a "love tap" did not. However, I read somewhere, a couple of years ago about adding more rubber, or anything, to increase the size of the rubber bumper stops to the right and left of the metal hood catches. I did that to the passenger side several years ago. And a few minutes ago, I added some adhesive velcro strips. Now the hood releases properly.
What else can I help you with?
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.

How do you open the hood of your Volvo s70 if the cable is broke?
If the hood release cable is broken on your Volvo S70, you can open the hood manually by accessing the latch mechanism directly. First, locate the hood release lever under the dashboard and inspect the cable; if it's detached, you may be able to pull on the cable itself with pliers. If that doesn't work, you can reach under the front grille or use a long screwdriver to push the lever of the hood latch, which is typically located near the center. It may take some finesse, but this should allow you to lift the hood.

Look for a small gap near the grill or under the front edge of the hood where you can insert the tool to manually pull the latch.

If these methods don't work, a professional mechanic can assist in opening the hood.
