I have a Hyundai Elantra Gt and the hood release inside the car is not working. Nothing happened when i pull it i am assuming the cable got diconnected and now i can't get my hood open. Anyone know how i can open it?

Check the cable attachment at the hood latch. It may have broken or come off somehow.

Pull the release and have someone hit the hood with there hand in the middle of the hood, by the latch/front. Then adjust the latch upwards. If the cable is broke then go from the bottom and push the release left or right to release. Follow the cable.

Hood releases are typically a braided steel cable that runs from the handle inside the car to the latch under the hood. A couple things could be wrong. Commonly, the cable is stretched; you feel the cable pulling when pulling the handle, but nothing happens. You can pull the handle as far as it will go, then use a pair of pliers to grab the cable and pull it even more. If the handle doesn't move, the cable housing could have been compromised or water has found its way in causing the cable to rust and seize inside the housing. Either way, an auto repair shop could help you out if you are unsure of working on it yourself.

have a helper lift slightly on the hood while the release catch is pulled. if this doesnt work have the helper push down on the hood to re-latch it then try again

Same thing happened with mine. It turned out that the power door lock motor went out. Since the handle or the switch can unlock the driver's door, both of these mechanisms are connected. When the door lock motor goes out it freezes in whatever position, it was last engaged.

Check to see if your lever is broken under neat so you are not ablle to pul cable to open it.

You can pop out the intake plastic grid and access the hood lock mechanism from there
