SOURCE: broken hood cable for a '07 kia optima. how do I

I think that it is unlikely that the cable on a car that new has broken. More likely a sticky latch. Have someone push down and then lift on the hood while you are pulling the release handle.
Hopefully it will open , be sure to lube the latch mechanisim up with something before you close the hood so that it works next time.

SOURCE: we removed an alternator from kia optima but we can't get it out from the hood. tried above and tried the wheel well. any other options

You may have to take it out from under the car. A lot of the front wheel drives are like this. Not familiar with the Kia but almost sure you will need to remove from the bottom.

Sunroof stuck open on 2004 kia optima. Where are fuses. Are there any inside?

Fuse should be labeled in fuse box under left side of dash board. If your main concern is getting it closed. Most Hyundai/Kias have a Spot to use a Allen wrench to open/close sunroof under the switch. First remove plastic bezel or sunglasse holder screw and panel should snap off. You should then see the Allen.

2002 kia optima /windshied wipers do not operate

The relay (fuse type thing located under the hood) was good as well. If that is the case then the motor is the issue. or the switch itself.
