How do I fix the hood release handle?
I bought my teen a 1999 Toyota Corolla for their first car. It’s running great, but they can’t pop the hood of their car. When you pull on the release handle, it doesn’t feel like you’re pulling on anything. How can I fix the hood release handle?

Luckily, you can fix the hood release handle and teach your teen how to check the oil and coolant levels with these steps:
- Check to see if the handle is connected to the hood release cable.
- Remove the release handle.
- Pull the cable until the hood pops using pliers or vice grips.
- Reattach the hood release cable to the handle.
