you have to pull hood release then get out of car and pull up on the hood like you were to open it. then get back in car and pull hood release again. then get back out of car and open hood that should work. i have a 1999 Volvo v70 xc awd cross country and that's what i do for mine. ;)

1. Adjust hood latch using 3 screws. Hood striker must be aligned with centre of latch striker.
2. Make sure latch isnt stuck due to tight cable.
3. Adjust hood alignment if necessary (after performing adjustment of hood latch).
4. Ensure hood rubber dampers arent too high (hence not allowing engagement of hood striker to latch mechanism).
5. Lubricate latch mechanism.
Eyeball it so you know what's cooking. If all else fails, replace the latch (use a screwdriver to mimic the hood engaging with the latch. If it catches, the latch is OK.)

If it is just the plastic handle broken, behind that is the cable that opens the hood. Just grab the cable with a pair of pliers and pull. You can probably just replace the inside handle and not have to run a new cable.

To open the hood on a '95 Grand Am, when the release cable is unattached, the grill must be removed. Once the grill is removed, the hood release lever may be reached with a pair of long pliers. Raise the hood and trace the cable to see where it has come undone. If it has come undone at the release?æ lever, it may be reattached. If it has broken, it will need replaced.

take a long thin screwdriver and stick it into the "hole" where the cable goes into the latch. Pry from right to left, this will pop the hood. I just had it happen to my 2000 Dakota.

With all the older cadillac's this was a very common problem... The easy way to open the hood.
1. find the hood release lever in the car...
2. on the back of the plastic release lever you will see a medal wire attached to it..
3. remove this wire from the plastic... and forget about ever using that junk again..
4. Get a pair of vice grips and attach them to the tip on the end on the wire you just removed..
5. now all you have todo is just gently yank on that wire a few times and the hood should open... if it doesn't have a friend pull up and down on the hood while you keep yanking on the wire...
6. This will fix your problem... now that you're under the hood make sure you clean and lube up all the parts going to the hood locking assembly so it will work easier from this point on....
7. or pay a mechanic 300 bucks to put in a new hood cable..

The grill comes off with 6 Phillips head screws and the proper sized hand and arm can reach under the hood to manually pull the locking lever. My cable is still seized so I will have to replace it but the hood release can be bypassed.

Make sure the Hood release inside the cockpit area (near the drivers knees) is fully returned to the latched position. A '98 model may need some lubricand under the hood at the latch. A simple 3in1 or WD40 would work or better, a white lithium spray. Good Luck

You will need to go up between the radiator and the grill and locate the cable. Sometimes you can pull it to release with your hands but its usually easier to use needle nose plyers.

Go through the gril with a pair of needle nose pliers and a flat head screw driver, pry over the lever and get the needle nose pliers to pull on the cable

Mine is tricky. the release on the inside of my car broke. But i can pull the same wire that the lever in the car pulls, then the release button is almost dead center, a little to the left. Pull the wire, push the button up, release the wire and it should open.

OK you have come to the right guy, I just spent the last 2 days on this (for the 2nd time). This is for a 1994 Pontiac Transport Minivan 3.8L engine. First time cable broke I created a small hook in a clothes hanger to snag the cable. This was pretty easy. With hook down and hanger slightly bent downward, snag the cable that's left attached to the hood release by slipping from the front between the hood and the top of the latch, a little right of center and approx. 7 1/2" back. Pull the remaining cable through to the front and you should be able to open hood by pulling hard. Now, the second way, which sucks, because the mechanic who replaced the cable is a moron. If the cable becomes detached you have no choice but to pop the latch. It is done from underneath and you need room. First, remove or bend back, the plastic protective covering under the van the length of the radiator. Next, remove the 2 screws, top & bottom, that hold the radiator fan to the center support, loosen wiring and allow fan to hang as low as possible so you can get your right hand up to the safety latch at the top of the center support. Next, take a long, slender screwdriver and slip the end in next to the safety latch arm above the center post, coming in from the passenger side and angle towards the front of the vehicle at approx. 30 degree upward angle. It may take a few times but you will be able to press the latch and the hood will release. Other articles I have read about removing the grille or taking out the front bolts do not apply to this vehicle, trust me. That hole at the top of the center support where the safety latch comes through is the only access I see where the latch is accessible. Remember to push latch towards the driver side to release.

Ok listen, the movie Hookwinked Too Hood Vs Evil hasn't come out yet, even though the release date was supposed to be on January 15, but it was postponed. Sucks, I know. The trailer isn't released yet, either. The only thing that's released is the toys at Burger King in January.

Not hood latch, but hood alignment. I own a 1994 F150. I even own the "book". The passenger side of the hood is fine. The driver side had a bad hood spring link assembly. If I tried to close the hood, this assembly would sometimes lock up and cause the hood to be bent. Must I buy a hood to make the adjustment or can I adjust and re bend the hood by sitting on the side that is bent?
you will need to replace the bad hood spring and then the hood.
