Ok, let me clear it up first....

Your hood release handle broke. You replaced it with one from a junk yard.

Now your hood release cable is broke, and you can't open the hood.

If thats correct, then we can continue:


Where is the cable broken? under the hood or at the release handle? If it's at the handle end, just grab a set of pliers or something and yank the cable to pop the hood.

Is it a dealer part only? I don't know, I'd imagine you'd be able to find it at your local autoparts store. I replaced the cable in my 95' from a car in the junkyard. It was pretty easy to change, took less than 30 minutes.

sorry my thoughts are clear but when they are typed it becomes a big mess. But anyway I pulled the cable wit some pliers but my true problem was how do I get the cable for the whole thing due to the fact that the guy at the junk yard clipped the cable to get the latch
