The hood release cable on my 2003 Yukon SLT will not allow the hood to latch, is it broken?

SOURCE: How do I Install Drive belt for a 2005 Yukon SLT

Well...I think your brief sentence says there is too much tension? If so check the following:

• Make sure the new belt is the identical length as the old
• Make sure you get full, smooth travel length out of the tensioner
• Make sure your routing is identical to the label under the hood

Try smacking down on the hood with a open hand.You may want to have someone inside to pull the lever while you hit on the hood.If you do get it open spray everthing down with a good lubicant.Well good luck and hope this helped.

Testimonial: "It worked just fine .I also used some wd40.Thanks"

SOURCE: hood release wont engage

The hood bumpers are worn or misaligned. After pul;ling the vever, push at one end of the hoods front section as if your trying to rattle it. Most the time they do release. If it doesn't try the oposite side this way. Upon opening it if possible work the latch manually to see if it does work. If it does use lubraplate lithiuim grease on all movable parts

SOURCE: broken hood release cable. Can't open hood

this is a hard one it depends on where it broke,can you cut the housing to get to cable core and pull with pleirs, if it snapped at latch then you will need to remove the grill or go from the bottom and try to hit the release the same wat the cable did,sometime if you grab the cable near the latch and pull hard it will open, good luck.
