Unfortunately it seems to have broken at the latch so I don't think there is any wire left to pull. I just bought this as a project car and obviously have to get under the hood to get it running.

Actually man fit your arm through the front bumper and reach around till you feel a cable once your there move your arm to the left following the cable and youll get to the wire and a **** push the **** to the right and you will open the hood

old topic I'm sorry but I appear to be in the same situation with my car. The hood is stuck in the locked position and I can't seem to get the hood up no matter what I try to pull on. Any more ideas on how to open the hood? :P

if you can ..get under the Front of the car..With a flashlight..I don't have the car with me so I am Gonna Guess(hood latch in front of me though)..if you can see where the cable goes..put a Large screwdriver between the little eye where the cable holds onto the latch and the Middle of the latch...and move the screw driver handle towards the Passenger side..Hopefully that will Pop the Hood to the Safety Position..If you can't get at the Tongue of the latch now by Reaching Under Like you normally Do..Look again Under the car at the latch..Ther ia a Big Round Piece of rubber on the Passenger side of the Latch.Try and Put a Loop of wire,or something strong around that Black Rubber round Stopper thingie and PULL straight Down.it should Release..I havn't encountered a Sticking Hood.so I have no idea if the hood latch Is Visible From Under the Front of the car..But IF IT IS..this Hopefully will help..Good Luck.
