How do you open a Jammed Hood?
-
My Moms 93 Pontiac Bonneville SSE has a jammed hood. I thought she was just not pulling the hood release lever under the dash but the lever has play the whole way and when i tried to pull the cable with a pair of pliers it just started stripping the wire away so i need another option. I've tried pushing the hood down and popping the lever and no go. I'm really not wanting to cut her hood off to find out whats wrong so any help would be appreciated. This lock is a two stage system, you pop the lever, the hood comes up a bit than you release the other lever under the hood(right in front) and it comes up. How can i disengage this primary lock?

Answer:

I think you had the best idea with the pliers and the wire. You really need to get that wire behind the kick panel and pull it. Its best if its touchy to have another person bang on the hood to insure it pops up as you pull on it.
