Hood release cable

My 1985 GMC Jimmy has the hood release inside the cab and today I went to start and the battery was dead. WhenI pulled the hood release it felt like there was nothing attached. I got a long screwdriver and pulled on the hood release thru the grill but still not releasing. How do I get my hood open?
Thank you for any help you can give to a rookie.

Re: Hood release cable

see if you can find the cable end under the dash give it a good yank with a pliers and it should pop
