Depends on the car. Some you can reach up behind the bumper and trip the release. If the cable is broken inside, you may be able to reach it as it comes from the latch and pull on the housing enough to release it. Some you can go through the grill and remove the bolts holding the latch to the radiator support.
How do you open the hood latch from the outside on a subaru impreza
If you remove the grill from the front of the truck you can then access the safety latch and hood release. My latch had rusted so I had to do this using a flat head screw driver and lifting the safety latch which allowed for the hood release to open.
I have dealt with this problem before at our bodyshop. Basically, a spring inside the latch has broke, and now there is no way to release the latch, even by manually pulling on the release lever at the latch. Prepare to replace the latch, as it is not repairable. Be prepared to be working inside the car. To make it easier to work, unbolt the seat, and remove from the car. Remove the door panel, and also the door handle. You will have to chisel at the plastic part of the latch, and break it off bit by bit. Eventually you will be able to release the latch. good luck
The latch itself is held on with bolts, easy enough to change. The release cable has to be fed down the inside of the rocker panel and into the trunk.
You have to pull the inside door panel off. Once removed, look for the door latch mechanism and pry it with a screwdriver. This will release the door.
The same way many open, from inside pull the release handle on the lower part of drivers side dash then go outside and move the lever under the front of the hood to release the second safety latch.
There is a latch underneath the dash on the left side that you have to release. On the outside of the car, lift up slightly on the hood to find the other latch.
The cable between the latch and the handle may be broken or needs adjustement to shorten the cable so that the latch will fully release.
