I am a current owner of a Lexus Es-300. This car has been through quite a history, expecially recently when my brother didn't repair a hairline crack in the radiator, so what happened is the engine died, and it recently went through an engine replacement. Somehow during this period, the Hood Lock Control Cable had broken. So I can't open the hood, and it is locked. There is no way to get at it though the grill, and it doesn't look like it's going to happen from the bottom either. I pulled off the driverside wheel, removed the moulding and tried to pull on the cord hoping that it had broken somewhere between there and the thing you pull on rather than broke from the actual latch, but no dice. I am stuck in a pretty big bind here, and it would be break if someone could shed some light on the subject.
Thanks alot, Dederic
