Now feel around in the recess (with your hand facing you) above the license plate in the center of the liftgate. You should feel a rubbery surface slightly raised. Pull with fingertips and the liftgate should swing out and upwards. To close, pull the liftgate down and push closed. Most models will latch and relock automatically.
no liftgate release on these suburbans, the relay is on the passenger side pillar at the bottom, near the floor. and yes you will have to pull the plastic off. it is a standard 5125 relay to replace. about 5-10 bucks.

Just remove the plastic cover that is under the steering wheel, it has 3 screws and some snaps. then you can see the mechanism that the cable was pulling to release. it is a lever just reach in with a stiff wire with a hook on the end and hook it and pull towards you and it will release the brake.

My hood release sticks because the post on the hood and the catch need new grease every so often. I have to have a helper pulling on the release lever, and myself lifting on the hoo to pry it out of the catch. A little grease on both parts and it works like new.
