There was a factory procedure where you can slide a long screwdriver through
one of the grommets, along side the wire harness, and engage the release
directly. I don't recall exactly but you may have to remove the glove box.
Brace yourself for a barrage of mail about installing a back-up release. If
you get a new release, get two and install them both. I shortened one and
mounted handle in the passenger footwell and now I can open the hood from
either
side.
