Default RE: Help with Hood Release

You may have solved the problem by now. Anyplace from the handle under the dash to the hood latch may be broken. If the dash handle is very loose, then the pivot for the handle may have broken. If so, the replacement part is the entire cable assembly. You may be able to open the hood by removing the trim at the left lower door sill and near the hood release handle. The cable may be intact. Pull and the hood will open. Remove some items near the hood latch. Disconnect the cable from the hood latch. Pull the cable back through some plastic guides after tying a fishing line to the hood end. Pull it all the way into the passenger area and remove. Be careful not to use too much force. Re thread the new part using the fishing line and re attach to the latch and to the car interior.
