Doh!



Not sure I understand what you're saying. If the latch "pulled right out" then why can't you open the hood?



Oh, you mean the release cable?

Remove the underbelly pan and you'll have to reach up and fiddle with the latch from under the car, going through the front might work depending on how big your front mount core is, mine blocks off the entire area though so I had to go from uinderneath.
