Hood wont open Sign In

95 subaru legacy.
My hood wont open. THere is a small lever inside the car that releases the hood. I went to open it today, and it was all slack. Now I dont know how to open it.

If totally slack as you said the cable probably broke. If not, having a person push down on hood while pulling release sometimes works.

If broken - you can usually get to the part the cable pulls on either thru grille or from underside and may have to remove a splash shield to get a view and a looooong screwdriver. Some are really tricky,

Actualyl I got it working now.
THe problem was indie the car, there is a hook behidn the little lever and the cord, and one other thing I dont know the name of, came off that, I put it back on that and it is fine now.
There was spare fuses in there, and that was the problem with my cigarette lighter port in the other thread.

Great news! Now do lube the latch underhood as it's easier on that cable which can last forever if cared for,
