Replace the cable with a new one. Cables don't stretch unless they are frayed somewhere. It's going to break sooner or later.

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.

Why coronary arteries Aries close to the semilunar valves?

During cardiac systole the left ventricle contracts, the semi lunar valves open and occlude the coronary arteries. During diastole the valves close and because of the elasticity of the aorta which has just been stretched blood now flows into the coronary arteries. The reason for this is that it is easier to supply blood to the cardiac muscle when it is relaxed.


The car has been left standing for 3 months and will not start no ignition light on the dashboard?

It is very common for the battery to discharge on a vehicle sitting idle for 3 months. First disconnect the positive + & negative- battery cables, and clean the battery post and cable connections off. Apply a thin layer of dielectric grease or Vaseline to the battery post and connect the negative - cable. Put a battery charger on the battery and let it fully charge overnight. If it will not accept a charge it is defective. It it does show fully charged, connect the positive + cable and see if the engine will start. if not, then more than likely the battery is dead and needs replacing.

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.
