broken/ disconnected hood latch cable

[trenchwarfare]

I just went to open the hood to swap my plugs and wires, but there was no tension on the pull. How do I get it open to fix it?

90 squarebody suburban by the way.

patience and a screwdeiver
that's how i have gotten mine before
now the cable usually runs by your inner fender on the drivers side, sometimes you can reach up and see if you can pull it down .. if it's connected you'll be set..
if it's not.. patience and a screwdriver =-)

oh p.s. it coul be partially released hence why there's "no tension" have a buddy "pop" on the hooda little to see if that's the issue while you hold the latch...
good luck

Yeah, it was just sticking again. I lubed up the latch and I'm going to adjust it when i change my plug wires tomorrow. Thanks for the advice and good thing i didn't have to use it.

Works for pretty much anything rusted on these trucks
