My 2000 Explorer inside ( under dash) latch won't open the hood. My fingers are too fat and short to reach to release the hood from the outside. I also do not think the cable broke. Any suggestions?

I have posted a number of times on here how to open the Hood with a screwdriver. Reach through the top opening just left of center, pry in the slot, Hood will open. Search the forum for how to open Hood, for the original poster.
 






Thanks, deweyville. Someone else told me to use a screwdriver THROUGH THE GRILL! Obvious it didn't work.
