Can't open my hood! PLEAE HELP!

[Thumper1974]

I accedentally unhooked my latch to pop the heed open from the cab, now I can't get under the hood.

Has anyone done this before, and know a way to get at the latch with the hood down?

Thanks in advance!

just try to find the wire from the bottom of the engine or something...it has to go through the firewall somewhere..when you find it just pull it and it will pop open

[jesilvas]

yea find that cable and pull it with some pliers or something

[Thumper1974]

I can" do that becouse the cable is not hooked up to the lach.if the cable was just broken i could see that working. thanks but i still need help lol.

[jesilvas]

i don't get what you're saying then. which latch is it not hooked up to? the hood latch or the one in the cab?

[Powerage]

I think he means the cable from the handle in the cab is dissconnected from the latch inder the hood.

If that's the case then get a thin screwdriver or something like that. You'll probably need a flashlight too. Stick it in between the grill and hood and push the latch over with that!! If you can see it.
