Question
We have a 1991 Chevy S-10 Pickup that will not release the hood latch to open the hood. We need to open the hood in order to charge the battery to be able to move the truck as it has a plow attached. Any help you can give is good
thank You,
Molly
Can be tricky to open.With a long screwdriver and old wire type coat hanger,look under the front of the hood and see if you can hook the catch and pull it to the left.You may have to try a few times but you will get it.It may be easier through the grille but its possible.Use a flashlight and the cable is visible from under the front edge of the hood.
