Cant find bonnet release - 1989 Ford Escort

in the drivers side its a grey square thing near the bottom near the door frame just above the gas pedal and the over one is under the bonnet in the middle you have lift and feel for a little lever and lift the bonnet and its got a little arm at the side of the wing to put in bonnet to hold it up and make sure you keep the enjectors clean I had the coupe I loved iv got a cdx now 2005 if you more help [email protected]

you need to first check if the fault is the bonnet release cable or the latch if you cant get the bonnet open try to apply pressure to the release cable and have an assistant apply light pressure to the underside of the bonnet front lip once you get the bonnet open spray heaps of penetrating lubricant into the latch and try to operate it (without closing the bonnet )a few times that will usually free them up always lube the latch when servicing if it cannot be freed up you should be able to see the 10 mm headed bolts that retain the latch inn place

The hood release is a red lever under the dashboard about shin height. I found the image on a Haynes online manual -
Opening the bonnet Mercedes Benz Class 2008 2011 Petrol B180 1 7

When the battery goes flat on a rapide the windows are up. The doors are frameless so the windows are located in the seals in the door aperture. You cannot open the doors and you cannot open the boot. Look through the front grille towards the radiator with a torch and you will see the bonnet release cable outer sheath. If you pull the outer sheath it will put enough tension on the cable to release the bonnet catch. With the bonnet open you can charge the battery. Negative clip on the alternator casing and positive clip on the central charging stud.

Hi sometimes they are right up behind the dash, get on your knees and look up behind it. the only other way is to get under the front of the car with a pair of pliers and try to pull the bonnet release cable.

As the car had Duel controls they may have moved it to the passenger side.

there is a lever by the inside of the passenger door by the footwell pull this back to release the bonnet then stick ur finger under the bonnet to open the catch

The bonnet release is on the passenger side under the glovebox and pushes towards the footwell.

Hi there, remember the bonnet opens back to front so you need to lift it from the windscreen side, hope this helps.

Flip up the badge on the front radiator grille, put key in and turn one way to release first catch, then turn other direction to open.

when you say the bonnet has been pushed in do you mean like in a traffic accident if this is the case then is your grill damaged,the reason i say this is the only way you are going to open your bonnet is through your grill so a replacement grill will be needed.if you take this course of action,take a torch and look up under the bonnet you will se the bonnet realease at the very front of your bonnet it will have the bonnet realease cable attached you might need help at this stage,get a friend to push down on your bonnet,put your hand in and push or pull the lever until it releases as this works on a hook system and with the damage it might need a pretty stronge screwdriver to force it always remember the radiator is very easly damaged and very costly to replace .Hope this will help you get your bonnet open .adrian
