How do you open the hood on a 1997 Honda Accord if latch cable is broken?

1. Locate the hood release cable. On the 1997 Honda Accord, the hood release cable is located on the driver's side of the engine bay, near the firewall. It is a black plastic cable with a yellow handle.

2. Pull the hood release cable. Once you have located the hood release cable, pull it towards you. This will release the hood latch and allow you to open the hood.

3. If the hood release cable is broken, you will need to use a screwdriver or other pry bar to pry open the hood. To do this, insert the screwdriver or pry bar into the gap between the hood and the fender, and then pry up on the hood until it opens.

4. Once the hood is open, you can replace the broken hood release cable. To do this, simply remove the old cable from the hood latch, and then install the new cable.
