How do I open the hood on my 1999 suburban?

The hood release for a 1999 Chevy Suburban is usually located inside the cabin, near the driver's side footwell. It's typically a lever or a small handle, sometimes hidden behind a panel or under the dashboard. Look for a small handle or lever that looks like it might release a latch. It might have a hood emblem or a picture of a hood on it.

Here's the process:

1. Locate the release: Search carefully near the driver's side lower dashboard area. It's often near the steering column, under the dashboard, or even under the glove box.

2. Pull or lift the lever/handle: Once you've found it, pull the lever or lift the handle. This will release the hood latch.

3. Go to the front of the vehicle: Open the driver's side door and walk to the front of the Suburban.

4. Lift the hood: You should now be able to lift the hood. There might be a small notch or hook to help you get your fingers under the hood edge to lift it a couple of inches before the hood props itself up.

If you can't find the release inside the vehicle, check your owner's manual. It should have a diagram showing the location of the hood release. If you don't have the manual, you can likely find a digital copy online by searching for "1999 Chevy Suburban owner's manual PDF."

If you've tried all this and still can't open the hood, you may need to seek assistance from a mechanic or roadside assistance service. There's a possibility of a broken cable or latch.
