I've had this problem with my '99. Try having someone push down on the hood (to reduce pressure on the latch) while you pull the hood release. You can also try pulling hard and fast on the release, but you risk breaking the plastic release handle. The "pull-hard" method was my solution- the handle took more abuse than I expected. If you get the hood open, grease the latch where it contacts the hood and try to run light oil down the cable. Mine was a combination of sticking latch and binding cable.

How can you open the hood of a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer if the cable doesn't release the latch?
On my 97 mountaineer you cannot open the hood with the release inside the truck. Standing in front of the truck on the drivers side behind the grill the cable is located to pop the latch. Carefully pull out the bottom right side of the grill and you have to have a skinny arm reach in and pull downward on the cable itself this will pop the hood...
