There is resistance and a click. The hood won't budge, however.

ACCEPTED

If you have someone pull the release while you push down and then pull up on hood it should open then check to make sure that nothing is jammed like prop rod or secondary release. If all checks out lubricate release latch under hood and work several times. If this helps an accept would be appreciated if you need more info let me know Bill. Let me know how you make out.
