How do you open the hood on a 98 Honda passport if the hood latch cable is broken?

If the hood latch cable is broken on a 1998 Honda Passport, you can try accessing the latch mechanism directly. First, locate the latch under the front grille by removing any necessary trim or plastic covers. Use a flathead screwdriver or similar tool to manually push the latch lever to release the hood. If this doesn't work, you may need to carefully pry the hood open from the front while someone else tries to pull the latch inside, or you could consider professional assistance for repairs.
