92 Cadillac DeVille cable broke and cannot get under the hood

SOURCE: 92 cadillac deville that will not start.

It sounds like your batery is empty.
Or maybe your start rotor is a bit stuck.
if so give it a hit with a rubber hammer that can help loosen it.

SOURCE: hood release cable broke under hood

this is always a pain but here is the way I try 1st, drop the release handle down and cut back the sheath (cable cover) over the inner wire cable, expose the cable and then get a good pair of vise grip type locking pliers and have some one push down on the hood over the latch area (this removes some of the tension on the latch release) while you pull the stub end of the cable, if this doesn't work then you can try going under the truck to latch, but on this model that would be very difficult.

Sounds like your serpentine belt is slipping try checking your belt tension with engine off if ok replace belt or purchse belt dressing spray at your local parts house.

Use vise grips under the dash on the cable,

May have to remove some dash panel to get
to it
