We tried using pliers to pull on the latch but its Not opening the hood even with someone tapping on the hood while doing it. My husband got underneath & he can see the latch cable wire & he wants to cut it but I told him NO. Any Suggestions on how to release this to get it open?
Push down on the hood while someone pulls the cable
if not cut the cable and pull to open sounds like the cable is broken anyway
SOURCE: 95 buick century hood release is broken
just did one 2 days ago same car..Had a break out grill on right side...then cut cable not all the through just the outer part to get to wire to pull it to open hood..... hope this help you
SOURCE: Hood won't open. Cable is broken and can't get hood to pop.
NO there is no manual way . get a good flash light and look at teh latch through the grill or from under the truck and try and pop it with a long flat blade screw driver
SOURCE: I have a 95 Jeep Cherokee, the hood release cable is broken..help
HALLO
TRY WITH SOME HARD WIRE (WELDING WIRE) ABOUT 3MM THICK.
MAKE HOOK ON ONE END (5MM), AND IN THE MIDDLE, JUST UNDER THE HOOD,BETWIN HOOD AND FRONT GRILL, IN THE GAP YOU WILL SEE HOOD LOCK. IN THIS LOCK YOU WILL SEE SMAL HOLE. GO INSIDE WITH THE WIRE AND TURN IT (TRY LEFT OR RIGHT (DONT REMEMBER)), BUT HOOD WILL OPEN. HEPENED TO ME TOO TWO YEARS AGO.

You can pop out the intake plastic grid and access the hood lock mechanism from there
