The hood patch lever is under the dash, is it not opening when you pull it? It's cable operated, if it doesn't open release the hood there may be a problem with the cable.

Use a key to unlock the door so that you can get to the lever mentioned above.

In my case, the battery is dead and the key fob because there is a lock issue from what I understand, will not open the door so I need to manually open the hood. Is that possible?
