opening the hood!!!!!

[dbdh95et]

Yes, it sounds stupid, but here is the problem...
I was trying to open my hood, and I kept pulling on the nob, but nothing, so now I need to find out a way to open it, please anyone has any ideas on how I can open it????

Screw driver. What are you talking about, in car or in front of the car?

I meant to say the nob inside the car, i pulled it but I think the cable is broken or something, the hood won't pop up!

My hood is the same way. I messed up the latch when I forgot a wrench under the hood. I use the lanyard on my keys to hook under the hood release and then i get out of the car and reach around so I can pry the hood up with my fingers.

If the cable is broken in the cabin, grab it with pliers and yank it open. If it's not, put the car on a lift and try and open it from underneath

I tried pullind on the cable but nothing, I just can't figure out how the hook thing that keeps the hood down works, is there any other ways?

It latches over a bar in your hood.

If you can get ahold of the cable, then you just need to pull harder. They're real tough when not connected to the lever.

ok, I will try that, thanks for the advice. Is there any way to replace a broken cable?

You're welcome. The cable isn't very hard to replace. Just pay attention when you take the old one out
