How do I go about opening my hood when the latch has broken? I pulled on the release cable and nothing happened. Need to get my hood open. Any help is greatly appreciated.
what year car do you have? and is a TBird or Cougar? is the cable busted or is it the latch it self?
It's an '87 TBird. I think the cable came out of the latch because half of it was broken. It used to stick open because the spring was broken and I'd take a hammer and flathead screwdriver to pound it back so it would latch again when I closed the hood. Half of the metal part that holds the end of the cable broke off at one point and I never replaced the latch. I have one and was going to do it this weekend, but I guess I was too late
look from under the car , if any cable remains grab it with pliers or something and pull. if not try and unbolt it or undo it based on what you see.
