SOURCE: hood release broke

If cable still attached to broken handle, and you can see cable, use sor something and give it a pull if you need hood open now. if not, stop at dealer a.s.a.p. and grab new handle assy, or autowreckers, and replace it before you destroy cable by using pliers etc.If cable actually broke, see above comment.

SOURCE: The hood release lever does not release the hood.

Do you have a new cable?? If not most likely there is a need for it it may be stretched out. You can grab the end of the cable that goes to the release (in the interior) with a pliers and pull it this will finish the cable and a new one will most likely be needed

SOURCE: hood will not open due to the release lever on the

Problem could be the other end of cable came loose from hood release latch under hood. You need to look through the grill closely and see if it did. I have had a few dodge caravans that this has happend to.

On 2012 Nissan Maxima. How do you connect the hood release cable back to the lever inside the car please?
It comes with the lever and housing attached if it is an OEM part.

If yours doesn't, keep disconnected at the hood latch end and remove the whole handle assembly. Grab the cable with locking grips and fix it to the handle. Put the housing and lever back, then connect at the hood latch. Videos here

Is The release handle suppose to pull towards you on a 2006 dodge stratus? My new used car. Other owners hit a deer so hoods dented a little.
Yes, pull toward you and it rotates in an upward arc. It will likely require 2 people to open. One person applying constant pressure to the hood release handle inside. The second person then momentarily pushes down sharply on the hood, at which point hopefully the release handle inside will move out/up and hood moves to first stage open position.

If the release lever won't move using above procedure, the mechanism is jammed and will likely require some experienced help.

If the release lever moves, then mechanism is functional and hood is merely caught and needs convinced to be open, think pry bar...while keeping release lever in open/up position. Of course once opened it may be difficult to close.

2008 Mitsubishi release cable for Hood not working. When pulling on release inside car, the hood does not pop open to reach under and release the safety latch
I have a similar problem on my 2006 VW Passat.

I'm able to open the hood two ways:
1) ask someone to hold onto the lever inside the car while you try to lift the hood to the point where you can use the unlatch button and open the hood fully.


2) Pull the lever completely open in the car and try to find a thick screwdriver or some thick paper folded up to wedge next to the lever to hold it open while you get out and try to lift the hood to the point where you can use the unlatch button and open the hood completely.


Other than this finding a service manual or tutorial online about how to pull out whatever trim or interior covers you would need to replace the cable fully. There should be a specific replacement guide for this item since I'm sure it happens to car's at least semi-regularly

My hood will not close on a 94 Chevy suburban
I have had a similar problem with a 2000 Jeep Cherokee classic. It turned out that the cable linking the hood latch to the hood release lever froze up and just needed replacement. My hood release lever on the inside of my Jeep felt loose when I tried pulling it. If your hood release lever feels loose it may be a frozen cable. Hope this helps.

Is the inside release releaseing the hood? it should be up a couple of inches when you go out to release the lever,,,If it is the lever it could get stuck ,spray some liq,rench or wd-40 right on where the lever turns and work it back and forth and push it as hard as you can should release.

How do I open the hood of a Mitsubishi L300 ?

  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.

How do i open the hood.
there should be a lever that is on the bottom edge of dash that is under the steering wheel along the trim. if the handle is broken you can use pliers to grab the cable and pull it to get the hood to realse. if you found all that and i seems to work ok then when pulling the release lever have a friend hit or shake the hood to get it to pop up a little so that you can open it all the way.

The hood will not release to open. I released the inside lever & the hood poped up a little. In the grill there is a plastic "T" lever that you pull to release the hood. I have pulled it hard & the...
So I gather that the release inside the car has release the hood's primary catch, but the T handle is not release the secondary catch to allow the hood to fully open.

If this is the case, take some lithium grease or WD-40 (lithium grease is much better and lasts much longer) and spray it onto the catch assembly.

Try pulling on the T handle some more after a few minutes of the grease soaking in and see of that releases.

If that doesn't work, then take a long flat screw driver and press it against the catch gently hit the screw driver with a hammer (you should be trying to push the catch towards the driver's side of the car)
You may need someone to be pulling on the T handle as you hit the catch with a hammer. I actually had to do this with a jetta before....
