hood release cable broken at latch Sign In

My hood release cable is broken at the latch. Its a 2001 Dodge Durango. How do I get the hood open? The cable is completely off the latch. Please Help.

Depends on which end of the cable you are talking about.

If it broke off on the inside, just try to grab a piece of the broken cable with pliers, hold the housing & pull the cable.

If it broke off at the latch under the hood, then you are going to have to go under the grill, try to see where the cable hooked onto the latch & with a long screwdriver, hook tool, whatever will get up there, manually grab the lever the cable hooked on to and release it....

There is no particular method to doing this. It comes down to finding the lever and then finding something that will get up in there to pull it.........
