I am unable to open hood of 2018 Ram!! I looked for a solution on YouTube but cannot find for my year. Inside does not release , so cable must be broken. I looked through the grill but there is no access. same as underneath since there is a spoiler it’s hard to see. There must be a way to open the hood!!!! Is there something I am missing????
Look under the dash where the cable connects to the latch ... is it still connected? If so, it may have broken at the hood latch? Not good.
If it's broken under the dash you might be able to use pliers/vice grips and pull the cable wire and open it.
Other option may be, you don't want to hear is, you might have to cut into the grille and unbolt the latch assembly ... I don't know.
I had the cable come apart under my dash on my 2014 RAM and was lucky ... all I had to do was pull the cable with needle nose pliers and replace the cable.
I resolved the possibility of it happing again by tying a piece of nylon string to the hood latch and routing it over to the drivers side headlight with a small metal key ring attached to it where I'd be able to fetch it out with a small telescoping magnet with the hood closed ... if it should happen again.
I have this simple set-up done on my current 2017 RAM just in case ... you never know.
