On the view of your hood open. In the center of the latch assembly there's a little upside down "c" piece on the driver side, of that middle piece. Push that with a flathead screwdriver & that will open the hood

Heck maybe even get some soder or superglue, get you a metal rod of some kind and wrap that cable end around it and just secure it that way, nice ghetto fix for now =P

Nah, in this case it was cable failure. Cheapest way to fix it is probably just going to the junkyard and finding the same van. Shouldn't be any issue at all.

It might, all you need is to warp the cable around a metal strip like a T so you have something to grab onto. The wrapping will hold the stress of pulling it but yeah JB weld would work better. I was fuckin tired when I posted that haha but yeah you just want something that you can get afew fingers around to yank on.

I got a similar problem with a 1980's chevy cavalier. EXCEPT, the cable broke somewhere inside the hood. No idea how to get it open, other than cutting the hood open.

Maybe, but with the handle the hood opened fine so its weird that pulling the cable with pliers didn't work but I guess it could have locked up since then.
