re: Anyone ever had a battery so dead the starter won’t make a sound and the hood won’t open?

Have somebody pull on the hood release while you thump the hood with your fist where the release latch is located. It should release.

Y’all I don’t know what to tell you. The release inside the car wasn’t popping the hood and the battery was graveyard dead. Someone on here told me to have one person pull the hood up while pulling the release. That worked. Then we jumped the battery and closed the hood and now the internal release lever is working again.
I was dumbfounded when it wasn’t working because exactly like everyone is describing I expected it to be a fully mechanical release. I’m not sure if it was just a weird coincidence or Chevrolet in their infinite wisdom actually connected it somehow to the electronics in the car. But it is what it is.

Why is the key stuck in the ignition?
My key gets stuck in the ignition whenever the battery is dead. It’s annoying.

Eta: and now that the battery is working the hood release is working fine.

Why does your battery go dead so often?

It’s gone dead twice now. Once when the battery just got worn out and now this time when I left it draining.

Maybe you left the hood popped and it was draining your battery.

Make sure it’s the hood release and not the parking break release.
Some vehicles have a similar lever for both

Bruh, your emergency brake is already disengaged.

It definitely wasn’t that. My parking brake is a hand brake in between the driver and passenger seats. Maybe it was just jammed and happened to coincide with the battery being dead. But my heart definitely sank when it wouldn’t release the hood. Cars have plenty of dumb “features” nowadays that get fricked when the electronics stop working right.

Wish I was rich enough to have a car lacking that much functionality.

Once again, hood release on a 2008 Chevy is not one of them.
You just had a coincidence.

Is your battery not in front of the middle seat on passenger side under floorboard?
Though you can certainly jump the battery in this position, or if it's in the trunk, like many cars are now, there are still terminals under the hood that allow you to jump off the battery.
I would think there's some kind of automatic shut off with the dash cam, to prevent this from happening. I guess not.

Pull the release and then go slap the hood with your hand it’s just stuck

Hood won’t open because the battery is dead? You have to be joking.

No it’s some shitty Amazon/Chinese brand recommended by this board.

I’m sure it’s been addressed in the 3 pages so far, but has anyone ever, anywhere seen a car that needed a functioning battery for the hood to open?
