My Chrysler battery is dead how do I open the hood?

Chrysler hood release mechanisms vary slightly depending on the year and model. However, there are usually two ways to open the hood if your battery is dead:

1. Manual Interior Release: Look for a lever or cable inside the car, usually located near the steering column, under the dashboard, or in the glove compartment. It might be a small handle or a pull-tab. The location and appearance vary greatly between models. Your owner's manual is the best resource for finding the exact location. Try searching your glovebox for an owner's manual.

2. External Release (If Applicable): Some Chryslers have a secondary hood release mechanism accessible from the outside of the car. This is usually located near the grille or under the front bumper. However, this is less common than the interior release. Check your owner's manual to see if your model has this feature.

If you can't find either:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source of information for your specific Chrysler model and year. Download a PDF version if you don't have a physical copy. Search online for "[Your Chrysler Model Year] owner's manual PDF".

* Call a roadside assistance service: They have the expertise to open your hood safely.

* Call a locksmith or tow truck: They are equipped to handle locked vehicles.

Important Note: Do not attempt to force the hood open. You could damage the hood latch or other parts of the vehicle.
