You can pop the hood by reaching up under the grill and get a finger inside the hood latch and pop it then disco the coil. I have done this not because I locked my keys inside(I can't I have no roof) but because the hood cable came out. This happened on 2 monteros so i know it will work on any gen 1 havn't tried gen 2.
