I can't say with 100% certainty, but I know the hood latch on the 07 VNL780 I'm driving is located at the bottom of the steering column. It's possible that the same configuration is used on the 97 - 2004 VNL series trucks.
The latch is at the bottom of the steering column.
The hood on a Volvo S60 can be opened when the latch is not working by sticking a stiff piece of wire into the grill and pulling on the release latch. The latch can then be repaired or replaced.

You can get your 1994 Chevy S 10 pickup truck hood latch unstuck by spraying a lubricant on the latching mechanism. You can also remove the hood latch retaining bolts to bypass the stock release cable.
On my 97 mountaineer you cannot open the hood with the release inside the truck. Standing in front of the truck on the drivers side behind the grill the cable is located to pop the latch. Carefully pull out the bottom right side of the grill and you have to have a skinny arm reach in and pull downward on the cable itself this will pop the hood...
The 1997 Volvo 850 does not have a MAP sensor but instead has a barometric sensor. The MAP/barometric sensor is located just below and a little toward the passenger cabin on the right (passenger) side from the hood latch. It is bolted with one bolt to the inner fender. Stand on the passenger side and look down you should see it between the windshield washer filler neck and the hood latch. It is quite small and has an electrical plug. It is held in place by one bolt with a 8 mm head. To clarify the hood latches are on each side (not the safety latch in the center.

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.
To open the hood when the cable is broken on a 1997 Silverado, you can try using a coat hanger to manipulate the latch and push it away from you. You could also try using a long screwdriver to move the hood latch.
Open the door with your key. Now pull the hood latch to open the hood.
