alright so my hood wont openi think the wire that is connected to the hood latch is not connected to the latch anymore and i cant figure out a way to get my hood open.

Yeah, my latch spring was rusted though. I had my brother hold the open switch from withing the car and I pushed on the hood a couple times until it popped.

After we got it open I sprayed with with 10-30 and it fixed my problem.

If your cable is broken you'll beable to tell from your very easy to pull interior switch.

Yeah, I was able to reach up from under the bumper with a 10mm socket and remove two of the three bolts from the hood latch and get it open. Turned out to be that the cable had popped out of the latch.
