my 04 navigator has a yellow pull tab over the passenger side headlight that you pull to the side (left side if youre looking at it from front). after you pop the hood open from the inside go to the front passenger side of hood / over headlight, pull yellow tab to left and pop hood open.' good luck!

How do you get the hood up if the hood release cable is broken?
You're going to have to pull the latch manually. The best bet is to go through the grille with a special tool or fabricate one out of heavy wire. The cable connects to the driver's side of the latch and pulls it open from there.
Can you stretch canvas after it's been painted?
No, you cannot. The canvas is stretched ever so slightly around a frame and then a sealing agent is used, gesso. This insures that the paint stays on the surface of the canvas, as opposed to soaking it up. The paint will most likely crack and possibly flake off if the canvas is stretched after painting.
How do I open the hood on a 86 s10 blazer when the release cable breaks.?
Ok to start with you have to remove the grill and the chrome around the lights. Then between the hood and the front plastic/fibreglass there is a crack with five hex screws the middle screw is smaller than the other four, take em out, there is two nuts one on the left and one on the right they are hidden under the chrome light cover hence the need to remove thelight surrounds. once all this has been done remove the plastic/fibreglass and unplug the turn and marker lights. Now the important part as the Cherokee has two latches one on the left and one on the right so from the front of the vehicle on the right take a long screwdriver and looking in under the hood push the little piece you can see to the right, now the left latch should pop up. Dont bother with the right latch as it also moves to the right but you can push on anything to open it. Now with the hood left side up you can reach in and grab the thin bar and pull it to the left and voila the hood will open. Removing the cable is eay just unscrew the door plate not all the way just loosen two screw closest to the dash and remove the two screws holding the plastic cover on the side wall and you can get it out. Next remove the three that's right three screws holding the release cable to the side wall. Next remove the two screws holding the fuse box to the front wall. Next remove the cable from under the hood just pop it out and open the two clips holding it to the hood. You can now pull it out through the fire wall and installthe new one the same way it came out you'll need a helper to push on the rubber stop as you pull the cable through from the engine compartment. Screw everything back in place and there you have it opened the hood and replaced the cable. www.a-pluspawnbrokers.co.nr It may be true for this model year, but for a 2000 Jeep Cherokee (mine), it isn't this complicated. Remove both headlight bezels and both headlights. Behind the headlight bowl/socket/cup (thingy that the headlight sits in), there are two bolts. One goes straight up and down from the upper part behind the headlight socket and takes a 12mm socket. This holds the top part of the striker. Just offset from center toward the outside of the vehicle is another bolt that takes a 13 mm socket and is the only one you can really see. This one requires use of a universal to get to the socket. This is the only other bolt holding the strikers to the vehicle. Once you have the four bolts out, use something soft to gently pry the hood up and it will be released as normal from the center latch. I used the above method and succeeded in scratching the leading edge of my hood and the trailing edge of the grill.

The reason is because the cable connecting to the latch has already been over stretched. Changing a new cable should rectify your problem.

The hood release will not work on your 1992 cadillac sedan deville how do you open it?
Unless the car has been wrecked, the usual problem is a stuck or broken hood release cable. If you go under the dash you can usually get hold of the end. Otherwise the cable can be reached under the engine compartment.

How do you open the hood on your cougar when the cable is broken?

How do you open the hood on 2000 gmc jimmy when hood cable broke?
AnswerI have the same problem with my 1998 GMC Jimmy. I have been using a needle-nose pliers to grab the cable. Sucks! Must be a common problem. Anybody know how to repair this problem? Can I order just the end of the cable with the pull knob or do I have to order the entire cable? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.If the cable is broken at the handle, you can have someone push down on the hood so you can grab the end of the cable with vice grips. That will get the hood open.You can only buy the cable assembly from GM for around $40. Includes the handle all the way to the hood. Replacing the assy is a total pain for my 2001. Involves removing the air filter box, windshield wiper reservoir, a panel under the dash and moving the E brake assy to remove the old one.Good luck.
How do you fix the hood latch cable on a 1999 Mercury Cougar?
Yeah, I have the same question. My cougar has been sitting for a year now with a dead battery and no way to charge it because the hood latch broke. Anyone? Pull the trim out from around the release, grab onto the cable with pliers and pull.
How do you open the hood of a 91 Chevy S10 with a broken hood release?
I own a 92 with the same problem. You have to gain access from underneath with a socket wrench and long extensions to take off the top part of the release that is mounted to the underneath of the hood. I have the cable dropped down with a plastic "T" Handle tied to the end of the cable so that I can pull the release until I can find a replacement cable. I have been looking but have yet to find one. Hope this helps
How do you open the hood of a 1982 VW Rabbit Convertible?
Is this a trick question? ;-) I think you might have something broken if you haven't figured this out by now. Just below the dashboard, at the far, far left of the car (driver's left knee if you're sitting in the car), there should be a plastic handle attached to a cable. Pull this handle and the hood should "pop". If the handle is broken or missing, look for the cable. Grab the cable with some vise grips and give it a good yank. Once the hood pops, there should be a latch up front on the hood, dead center, with a small lever that rocks the latch back and forth. Squeeze this lever and the latch should let go of the car and the hood should open. If you can't find the cable, you may have to get to the latching mechanism from through the grill. If you look just above the VW logo in your grill, you should see where a cable may have once been, or perhaps a piece of a cable. Grab a large flat head screwdriver and push this piece to the right until the hood pops.
2000 ford expedition the hood release does not operate How do you open the hood manually?
I have the same problem and what they did was where your hood release is take the actual cable end out of the lever. In order to get the hood open, someone will have to take some pliars and pull as hard as they can. I have had from several Ford Explorer owners for the same make around year of 1998-2001 that they have had to have their hood release cable replaced due to it being stripped or extra slack in it for some reason. I haven't gotten it replaced yet but I have been told that I have to order this part through the Ford dealership for about $20.00.
