Hood Release Cable Broken?

[norelah]

I pulled the hood release, and the cable broke!

I have been looking and trying everything to get the hood open.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get the hood open?

I have tried everything.

Okay, where is the cable broken?

Some were under the hood.

Most likely at the latch itself.

The problem is I can't get to the latch to pull on it to open the hood manually.

Could you put it on a lift?

You should be able to access that latch from underneath the vehicle.

Yeah, that was my thought.

I think that's about the only way.

I was hoping to do it without driving or towing anywhere that has a lift.

It's not quite ready for the road yet.

Thanks

You could try putting it on car ramps.

Hopefully, it will give you a little more clearance.
