2006 honda civic hood wont open

under the steering wheel, below the dash

Have someone press down on the hood while you pull the cable.Most likely the latch is just sticking and needs a good shot of penetrating oil(WD40).May even try having them bump the hood while hold the latch.Good luck!

first, try smacking the hood at one of the front corners while someone else pulls the release handle. or even after you've pulled on it. if that works, once open, adjust and lubricate the hood latch assembly. if it still won't open, and it's the cable and not the latch you'll have to replace it anyway, so instead of removing the grill, cut the cable behind the pull lever under the dash where you can reach it. then skin the outer cable insulation away from the actual steel cable exposing an inch or two of it. then holding the insulation and plastic housing with pliers, grab the steel cable itself with pliers and pull it to open the hood. then replace the cable. the further you can reach up under the panel the better your chances of getting past the broken part of the cable and avoid removing the grill. you might also be able to gain access from up under the car if you're lucky.

get your self a pair of Pliers and grab the wire and try doing that. if not a bodyshop or the dealer can help you get it open!

you might have enough cable to catch a hold of with pliers if you remove the cable handle assemble from dash,if not cut away at cable housing until you do

check the fuses under the hood first then under the dash

Slide under car in front center and slightly on the driver's side.
Reach really high and find the broken cable and tug to the right (towards the driver side tire). You may want to use a flashlight and locking pliers.

reach under the front of hood , and pull cable .

use a pair of needle nose pliers and pull the cable to open the hood..im assumeing the plastic cable lever snapped or broke off... if that doesnt work, remove the left front wheel and left front fender liner and u will see the cable.. u can pull on that there as well.. first try the needle nose pliers (up to u if need to remove the wheel..i did . i have big hands.

check fuses under the hood the main fuse may be blown are the crank fuse
