Hi: Have someone push down on the hood while you pull the release cable, while cable pulled have them lift up on the hood and it should release. Hood is probably released but stuck, latch out of adjustment or hood support rubbers ( located on rad support) are set to high causing latch to be to tight.

I have this same problem. You have to take a screw-driver (philips) and look between the hood and the grill and you will see the hood latch assembly. There will be a large gauge wire with a loop about the size of a large philips head screw-driver. This is the release. Take the screw-driver and push the wire towards the drivers side door and it will release.

Testimonial: "THanks, solution concise and tells me where to look and how to do it. Because I was looking to taking off my grill and not sure how to do that."

if the cable is not broken then pull the release then take the side of your fist and pound on the hood starting towards the top drivers side and slowly move towards the latch try it a few times i have to do this every single time on my blazer
