What to Do If the Car Hood Won't Open?

[OJaxon]

If the car hood won't open, it may be due to a damaged hood release switch, a detached or broken hood release cable. Here are some methods to try: 1. The issue might be insufficient lubrication of the hood latch spring. Try adding some lubricating oil. 2. There is usually a hood release button under the steering wheel. Pull this button inside the car, and the hood should loosen. Lift the hood, reach inside, and pull a mechanical latch to open it. 3. Use a screwdriver to hook and open the hood. Crawl under the car, insert a wire from below the engine into the hood lock hole, and pull to release the hood. 4. Open the driver's door, remove the door seal, and use a thick wire to make a hook about 1.5 meters long. Insert it into the lower right corner to hook the door motor, which will release the hood.
