1995 Pontiac Bonneville SE hood will not open when you pull the release cable.

The problem here is we can't pull the release handle to feel if there is the proper tension on it or not - therefore *hands-on* assistance may be required .. 'IF' you can feel the release handle is actually pulling the hood latch as usual - spraying BUNCHES of WD-40 into the hood latch area using the red straw should allow the latch to release the hood. Once hood is opened - properly LUBRICATE the latch mechanism! Otherwise seek professional help at local auto repair facility. Good luck!
