When I pull the Hood release, nothing happens, it just recently happened. Is there any possible reason that the cable can freeze? or is it just broken? the temp has been -5 to 5 degrees celcuis. Please help, thanks

i have a 96 civic dx 4dr

Yeah, the cable or the latch itself can freeze or break. Try to thaw it out (warm garage), and if that doesn't work, lift the lever and pull on the cable with a pair of pliers. If it moves freely, it's probably broken.

Those cables do stretch. I've had to replace one already, and I think I'm going to have to again. I might just get some damn hood pins this time.
