Best Answer

the hood latch is not releasing

this could be due to a stuck/broken hood latch or something wrong with the release mechanism (broken/stuck cable, handle came off of cable, etc...)

use screwdriver(s) through your grille to pull the lever that would be pulled from the cable.

best thing to do is get a new hood latch from local parts store and look at it to figure out how it works so you know just what to press/pull/activate on the car

No, there is no similarity. On the 1999 Explorer the fuse panel is on the end of the dash visible with the driver's door open. On the 1999 Expedition the fuse panel is below the dash on the driver's side and it is a different shape.
