I was pretty much unable to do anything when my hood release froze
this winter. The only way to get under the hood and fix a problem with
starting the car was to wait for warmer weather.
No amount of waiting within my expected lifetime would have helped me.
The battery died, and the hood cable broke at the latch. No amount of
sheet metal disassembly was possible with the hood latched, even after
removing the grill. I had to go find a similar car to study its latch
mechanism, then squeeze in between the puddle and the bottom of the car
and reach up with a big screwdriver to fram on the latch mechanism until
I got lucky and hit the right spot to make it release.
My kind of engineer!! We fix anything!!
