on the end of the cable, there is a little ball or something that sits in the latch pull the cord to release the latch, pops the first latch then u open it, this happend to me on my old car, take off the bumper, get pliers and pull the cable towards the driver side headlight and the latch should release. Worked for me, unless you managed to get something jammed in the latch area of the hood.doesnt hurt to try at this point.

ok so i got the hood open but i had to unscrew the whole latch... bad thing is its not the hook in the front but something else in the back.
i was just wondering if there was a good way to get the piece out cause its hella stuck.
