Hood not releasing, sometimes.

I use the front hood electronic release in the driver's door sill, I can hear the motor pull under the hood and 50% of the time the hood doesn't pop, but just sits there.

I have tried to recreate this, but sometimes it opens perfectly, sometimes the motor sounds like it moves the clasp, but nothing else happens up there.

The battery is fully charged. I have tried applying some pressure on the hood where the latch is to get the hood to pop. Nothing. I drive around and ignore it for 4 hours or sometimes a day, and viola, it opens up again.

Any ideas?

Also I hear there is an emergency cable. Is it behind the passenger headlamp? Isn't this a bad place for it since I need to be in the hood to get the headlight out to access the emergency cable?

Thank you!
