Need to open hood, but release cable is broken. how do you open hood?
On hood latch..where cable goes in..there is a hole there..trip it back..or take the 3 bolts away from latch
SOURCE: broken hood release
remove the grill and pull on the cable from there. and then replace the cable.
SOURCE: Hood won't open. Cable is broken and can't get hood to pop.
NO there is no manual way . get a good flash light and look at teh latch through the grill or from under the truck and try and pop it with a long flat blade screw driver

It can be a pain, even for a skill mechanic, BUT you have to get under and trip the leaver or sometime if the cable broke on the inside you can strip the cable shroud and use plyers to pull the cable

try goin under the front and see if you can acces the release,also thru the front grill,theres no other way (unless you break the grill)
It may be that your hood release cable that runs from the hood release is broken. You'r going to have to try and manually release the hood latch by tripping the release through the grill with something like a long screwdriver. You should be able to identify the latch trigger by following the cable to end.
You might also try having push down on the hood while another person tries to trip the latch if the cable isn't broken, but just stuck.
