Check the wire on the hood release cable under the driver seat. If that gets damaged and falls out, it can cause this to occur. Sometimes it can be fixed with a new latch, other times the cable is stretched and may need to be replaced - it's doable, but not a fun job given you have to go through the firewall to access the cable. That being said, I have had family with cars where they have so many miles or were old where the solution was to keep a vise grip in the center console and bypass it that way. IMO that solution is tacky but if the plastic latch is broken and the car has 150k miles and is also burning oil, I don't blame someone for sticking a Harbor Freight vise grip in the glovebox or center console and calling it a day.
In order to find the FCA part number, we need the year and model. Given that FIAT 500s were the most common I'm presuming you have one of those, but they also sold other models here.

@nick what is an MY?
It'll be so much easier to stick with common abbreviations or none. Not everybody is going to understand that you are looking for the Model Year :-)
@oldturkey03 In my defense it’s not hard to decipher with the right context.
@nick sure it, is but not every OP will be deciphering about what you are asking for. I think we should keep it simple and not require any further deciphering :-))
