I kinda have that problem too. I pull the release handle and nothing happends. I can go and pull up on the hood and then it will open( only after I pull on the release handle). Try doing that. I might have to pull the release handle a time or two before it works but it will always work.
Even though it sounds like the cable is moving, it could be broken off somewhere in the line which is causing your problems. How long are your arms? If you removed driver's side wheel and wheel well do you think you could reach up there to manually pop it?
I soaked mine with WD40 and it works like new again. It got to where you had to have a pair of channel locks to reach in and move the latch.
Does it line up goood with the fenders? Might need to adjust it a little at the hinges.
