THE HOOD RELEASE CABLE IS BROKE HOW DO I OPEN THE

if it broke under the dash then use a pair of pliers to grab the braded steel line and pull it to release the hood

There is no emergency latch. The best way to get it open is to remove the cable from the release latch in the footwell, then use a pair of pliers to pull the cable and open the hood. You might even have to strip the cable covering back a little to get to the cable.

i assume it broke at the latch? if you lay on the ground you might be able to get at the latch. if it broke at the handle grab the wire with pliers

While you are pulling out on cable have someone hit hood with each fist on front of hood near grill left & right of center at same time.

common. drive to a repair shop so they can release the latch manually and recommend a fix.

If parts are scarce......you can also use a short length of wire and run it out through the front grill and open it by pulling the wire.
Just make it so nobody can see the wire.

A hood release works with a cable that pulls the latch open. if you have a long flat head screw-driver you can try to spring the latch itself through the front grill.

I have a similar problem with my 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. The way I open the hood is to reach my hand between the radiator and the front of the car, and for me there is a bar running right up the middle if I follew that too the top, and on the drivers side of that bar should be the hood release, and I feel around till I feel the hood release cable, and then I push on the lever that the cable is attached too, most of the time this works. Hope this helps.

get a pair of vice grips and use them to get a hold of what remains of the release cable and pull,,,after success,,,get a new cable installed.

There is a latch with a hood release cable connected to it. It can be reached from underneath, between the grill and radiator, or you can reach it through the grill.
