you should be able to see up under the bumper and behind the grill. you should be able to see where the cable goes to the latch. I had this happen on a 91 chevy, I was able to make a hook out of stiff wire and pull on the cable right where it goes into the latch and release it. this is a bugger to do everytime, so you may want to replace the cable from the inside of the car to the latch.
The question is about a 1992 Buick LeSabre. Please post comments about 1991 unspecified Chevrolets somewhere they are relevant. The hood latch on the 92 Buick LeSabre is between the radiator and the fan shroud. I have no idea how to resolve the issue but I do know that you can not see latch from underside of car.
