Hello all
I just purchased a 2002 kia sportage 4x4 convertable.
I was able to open the hood two times prior to present.
The hood release handle (located inside of vehicle, bottom left of steering wheel) pulls out, doesn't return on it's own or open the hood.
So I'm assuming the spring or cable is broken.
To my questions:
Is there any other way to release the hood catch?
Since I have had limited access under the hood, can anyone direct me to a picture of the hood latch with the hood open?
I'm thinking I might be able to catch the latch through the grill or front hood seam with a stiff wire or bar, similar to when you unlock your vehicle with a unlock tool.
