Is there a way to open the hood?
The trouble with this method is – its obviously not made to be opened like this as a security method – so sometimes and usually often, the grille / front has to be cut / damaged and ultimately replaced…to gain good access to the latching mechanism to open the hood..
What to do if your car doors won’t open?
If the doors will not open for the locks being lock and not unlocking due to loss of power, then you can raise up the vehicle and put a battery charger on the starter cable and on the frame away from the starter. This will give the battery enough power to unlock the doors and pop open the hood.
Can you open the passenger door with a key?
Thank you for your reply… You should be able to manually open the passengers door ( if not others ) with the key – but if for some reason you cannot – this is usually down to a physical fault in the lock – ie, rusting inside due to lack of actual use etc.. Often a good spray into the lock with Wd40 and trying it will work..

Can you open the hood of a Nissan Altima?
Not likely the key would fail in both locks but I suppose it could be damaged somehow. You may be able to open the hood from the underside by either compressing the latch with a long screwdriver or loosening the mounting bolts/nuts and letting the latch come loose. 40 people found this helpful.
