The.fuel pump relay for the 2000 echo is under the hood next to the battery.Power goes from the battery to the fuse box under the hood and then to the pump which is under the back seat.The fuse box under the dash has nothing to do with it.
I have a 2000 echo and was faced with same thing. Cable would not open hood. I was able to detach the plastic grille from the front with very little damage to the plactic catches that hold it in place. Then snaked something up to the latched and popped it. Then I cut off the plastic coated cable with enough length to loop it out the front so that just a tug on the loop and the hood opens. Just like the old days when you opened the hood on all cars from outside. I like it better.
If you are asking if you can tow with a Toyota echo, the answer is yes. See related link for a video of a Toyota Echo towing a small trailer (and off roading).
