Until you REALLY need to get into the engine bay, you will need to get a new cable. Otherwise you will not be able to close the hood again.

On of the posters : I took the car after much frustration to my nearby Volvo dealer. The technician took the left side turn signal lens off and reached in with a hanger like device and pulled on the latch and it opened both right and left side latches. I was amazed. He said that the center latch device will not open the left and right latches and followed by saying that going through the grill is useless.

In otherwords, the latch is pushed towards the driver's fender. If you can reach it with your fingers.

How he got the turn signal off is beyond me, I know there is a plastic tab in the back, close to the headlight. Just push it down and slide the turn signal forward.
