How to open the hood on 05 mitsubishi lancer es after hood release cable broke on engine bay side.

look under the dash see if cable is broken close to that end
grip inner cable with pliers and pull hard

if broken at the engine bay
work from under the car with a long tool to release the bonnet catch

if not sure how its done drive to a panel repair shop for a solution

From the looks online, it's either under the hood on the drivers side, or there should be a little trap door when you open your drivers door, probably next to one of the vents. Those covers are usually labeled with what fuse goes to what. Good luck.

Cut the handle end off, use gorilla tape to attach new cable to the old one, then very carefully pull it through the firewall.

Inside the tank... if not first check under the passenger side towards the rear of the vehicle. Should be just in front of the fuel tank and rear tire, or around the tank. If none of these. Check engine bay firewall passenger side. Not an expert on lancers but these are usual locations.

1. Locate the interior hood-release lever under the dashboard on the driver's side of the interior of the car.
   

2. 2

   Lift up and toward you on the hood release lever. The lever is connected to a cable that releases the hood. The hood will pop up about 1/2 inch when you pull the lever.
   

3. 3

   Move to the front of the car and locate the exterior hood-release lever under the front of the hood. It is located near the middle of the vehicle, just beyond where the front edge of the hood meets the body. Lift up on the inner lever.
   

4. 4

   Lift up on the edge of the hood while holding the inner lever in place. When the hood is up, find the hood prop and raise it, setting its tip in the hood-prop mount on the hood, to hold the hood up while you work in the engine bay.
