While looking through the grill, locate the hole on the right-hand side and very slightly to the rear of the latch mechanism. Using a thin long-handled flat-tipped screwdriver, coming from right to left at a 45 degree angle, insert it into the hole and pull the handle of the screwdriver to the left in a prying movement. Don't use much force because you don't want to break the latch. It'll pop right open.
This is a common problem with these trucks. A simple way to open the hood requires two people. Have someone pull the release as you simultaniously pull up on the hood. If it doesn't pop, try hitting it on each side a few times. If it still doesnt open, reach in through the grill and pull the release cable maunally. You may need a flashlight to locate the actual cable. Pull it firmly and it should pop open eventually.
how to open hood with a broken cable on a 1994 ford explorer
Pull the inside hood release and then go to the front of the Explorer and press down on the hood slightly while operating the auxillary hood release located just under the front edge of the hood at the center
A universal hood release cable will work on the Ford Explorer if one is purchased that says it can be used on full size pickups and SUVs. The cable can be adjusted for length if that is necessary for the cable to fit properly.
crowbar dude...
you might be able to get under the car somehow and flip the hood release from the inside.

The fuse for the side mirrors on a Ford Explorer are located in the main fuse panel. It can be found under the dash, near the hood release.
Between the hood release and the driver door under the dash.
