I've got a good one for ya.... Hood

94LSC · 10-27-2007, 02:22 PM

I started prepping my car to pull the head. I took the bumper cover off, all the crap up top, swung the radiator to the side, took off the fan, belt tensioner, etc. I'm working outside in the driveway. I decide to quit for the day and I push the radiator back in place and close the hood. I decide to check one more thing and go to open the hood. Ummmm, it's LATCHED! I completely removed the hood release cable. Any advice on how to get the hood open?

You mean the cable isn't attached to anything, but the hood is still locked?
