SOURCE: can not open hood on 1998 town and country lx
is the cable that goes to the hood latch broken?
or is it inside the van were the cable broke?
"if the cable is still were it should be....but the lever is broken......you can get a pair or pliers and pull the cable "metal one not the plastic cover"
but if the cable broke inside the hood and now you cant get it to open....
The only tools required are a set of pliers, a good work light, and coat hanger.
"try to make a hook with the coat hanger"
Set the work light down low so that it shines up through the grill at your latch. The coat hanger pulling action. You must use the coat hanger close to where the cable connects to the mechanism, then pull in a direction as close to that of the cable as possible.
be patient......and if you get it to open have the replacement cable ready.......
hope this helps XD

HAVE SOMEONE EXTRACT THE CODE FROM THE CAR'S COMPUTER. IF THERE IS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THEN THE PCM HAS A CODE STORED ON IT. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE A THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, BUT JUST CHECK THE CODE TO BE SURE. SOME OF THESE CAN ALSO HAVE A BAD IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU TO FIND THE PROBLEM. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED, THANKS FOR USING FIX-YA. GOOD LUCK
