    reach under the fender liner grab the wire and pull it the hood should open now that your hood is open remove the cable from the fender area and run it through the engine bay so that nobody can steal your car

    it doesn't matter if i pull the wire. its not on the clamping thing anymore. its just loose and hanging. i have to put the wire on the thing again so when i pull it, it will unclamp it.

    yep, that kind of thing is just a pain in the ass. not much you can do but reach up in there and feel around..... that sounded like a cheap porno.... but anyways you will find it eventually.
