There is no need for power to open the hood. Your cable may be streached, or in need of adjustment. Have someone push down and up on hood itself while pulling the hood release lever.

How to release hood latch from locked dead battery 2004 Pacifica

To open the hood of a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica with a dead battery, try these steps:
Find hood release lever: Usually located on left side of driver's footwell near the hood release cable.
Jump-start battery: Connect battery to another car's battery if it's completely dead. This will provide enough power to release the hood latch.
Use manual release: If jump-starting is not possible, consult owner's manual for manual release location.
Get help: If unsuccessful, call for help from a tow truck or mechanic.
Caution: Make sure the car is in park, emergency brake is engaged and engine is off before opening the hood.

I have a 2009 Nissan Cube and when I try to start it you can tell it is trying to start but nothing. I even had it jumped just in case and still it wouldn't start any Ideas?

when you jump a car, you sometimes have to let the other car charge your battery for 5-15 minutes, in the case that a dead cell in your battery is dragging power from the system(s). Try charging the battery with another car, then try the jump again. if still no, you have 2 main alternatives- get your battery checked and get your alternator checked. There are other issues that can cause this type of non-starting situation, but a dead cell in the battery dragging down system power or a bad alternator, leading to an extremely dead battery would be your 2 leading causes. Other possibilities are simple, like spark pulgs/wires, to huge, like a broken timing belt/chain

1997 Nissan Pickup stick shift. It will no start can puch start it. Put a new started on thinking it was that. Also tried jumping it off, nothing worked. Any ideas what it could be. Oh when trying to crank...

I would have the battery load tested as it indicates a bad cell. If the solenoid only clicks but you can push start it then the battery is too flat or dead and if a jump starting will not work then the jumped battery is feeding into a dead short in the other battery.

Battery just went dead, i can't open the trunk to jump start the battery. how can i open the trunk w/ a dead battery?

If you can open the hood, you can jump start the car at the alternator. Put the positive jumper cable on the large + wire on the alternator, and attach the negative - to any bracket or to the engine block and this will start your car, or open the trunk.

Battery Dead - How can I get the vehicle into neutral

i hate to say it, but you are gonna have to open the hood in the confined area and try to work with the area you have or call in whatever autoclub you use / the dealer and make it their problem.

actually you can buy a jump box that plugs into your cig. lighter and jump it that way. my jump box has the set up to do it that way. but check your owners manual to see if the car will accept that without damage.
