Hood cable broken. How do you open hood? 
Hood latch won't release. Broken somewhere. Tried pushing down hood, no help. Handle has no tension, just loose. Cable must be broken somewhere. Does anyone know how to get the hodd open? 1999 T/A 
Love my T/A, but the problems with window motors, light bulbs, cracked door panels, jamming headlight covers, radio display bad, sure keeps you on your toes. I should be a mechanic.
Hey and I store this car 6-7 months a year

Get under the dash and find the cable. Hold the sheething and pull on the cable with a pair of pliers. If the cable is broken and inside the sheething, strip some off so you can get to the cable.
