Usually when you pull on the red lever, you should feel the resistance and the release of same resistance when the hood pops up a bit.
If that's not happening then it's stuck in the open position.
With a good light, you should be able to see where the fine realease cable exits near the front latch while looking down.
A quick spray of light oil or generic WD-40 might help with something thats sticking.
With 2 people and one pulling on the hood lever, you should be able to see what's happening.
Good luck ! Derek
