Doh!



Not sure I understand what you're saying. If the latch "pulled right out" then why can't you open the hood?



Oh, you mean the release cable?

i had that happen on my fb look undre the dash on the fire wall see if you can grab whats left of the cable hope that it broke after the fire wall if not take underbody engine cover off access through there and good luck

i've done this it really sucek when you have to pop the hood in the reain, i installed 2 new ones and the also broke, just reach your arm uo there and play around witht he hook till you feel a pop and VIOLA

Remove the underbelly pan and you'll have to reach up and fiddle with the latch from under the car, going through the front might work depending on how big your front mount core is, mine blocks off the entire area though so I had to go from uinderneath.
