Default Unable to get my hood open on my 93 GSR.


Not sure whats happened. Went to pop the hood and pulled the handle under the steering wheel. Hood did not pop up. I tried pulling on the wire behind the handle and its tight so i don't think it broke. Not sure what the heck to do now. Any idea's?

Try having some one lift on hood while you pull on handle. If the doesn't work it does sound like cable is broken.

Tried that and nothing happens. Can't even hear anything from the front end. In the event the cable is broken. Whats the solution to fix it?

I've never looked for this car, but for some cars you can get to the hood release from underneath the car.

I've tried that. There is some sort of shield in the way and with the car being lowered it makes it even harder.

this happened to my friend's integra a couple months back and we thought that the cable was broken also we tried pulling up the hood while he was pulling the cable and nothing no sound at all and then we got another person and grabbed a pair of flat head screwdrivers and while one was pulling the cable the other two was prying the hood and then it popped open.. the cable wasn't broken or anything.. it was just rusted so we put some wd-40 on the latch and closed it and then pulled the hood release and it popped open no problem..

Use a jack dumbass. It doesn't matter how low your car sits.
