so i have a 1999 jeep Cherokee and today it decided to stop working i went to start it and it wont turn over but all the lights turn on and the heat comes on too idk what it could be but i also cant get the hood open the hood latch stopped working we had a bad snow storm here got a couple feet of snow so i'm wandering if driving threw hurt something because i don't have anything protecting the undercarriage

 

starter?

 

If it's not cranking at all, try in neutral to see if it's the NSS. Any noise when you hit the key?

 

no i don't believe so as i just got a new starter installed

 

no noise when i try to get it to turn over all electrical turns on even the heat

 

i also want to let y'all know we got over 3 feet of snow and i have no cover for my undercarriage so it might just be wet but i'm hoping for at least a easy fix or hopefully not a expensive one but i have been threw some rough snow with it before and this has never happened

 

also after she didn't want to start my sister pulled my hood-latch a little to hard and the wire snapped know any way to pop the hood without taking the grill off?

 

Two things. First clean your battery connections, particularly if it has lots of blue salts on the terminals.

Second, yes you can open the hood. If there is enough cable showing, get a firm grip with vise grips and give it a yank. Then lubricate the mechanisms afterwards. If that doesn't work get back to us and I will explain how to remove the headlights and go that route
