Answer
Hi Kodie,
I don't claim to have any expertise about Jeeps but usually if you get under the front of the vehicle and look up either in front of the radiator or behind the radiator you should see the hood latck mechanism. And there is a latch lever that when pushed toward the driver's side of the vehicle the latch will open. Have a helper operate the release while you look up so you might see the cable (with its tip broken) move and that will direct you toward that lever. I hope this helps.
