I wish I could find someone in the Chattanooga area to help. Cable will release driver side nothing on passenger side.
Even body shop said they couldn't help. Any suggestion ?
FIX FOR GOOD CABLE WITH MISSING/ BROKEN NYLON GROMMET: My cable had come adrift on the UK passenge side. No need to remove the splashshield/front undertray but you cannot see the latch too well as there is a large pipe in the way. Nevertheless there is plenty of room to get you hand round it and release the latch with your fingers pushing it towards the UK passenger side- no pry bar required. The cable was good except the nylon bush which keeps the actuator/bullet/nipple in place had perished. Rather than replace the whole cable the solution was to thread a 6mm spring washer around the cable to the left of the nipple as viewed fro the front of the car. It was then possible to lassoo the washer using two 100mm cable ties and secure the latter to the latch arm. One 100mm cable tie may suffice but would require much greater dexterity. remember to squeeze the ends of the washer closed and pull the cable ties as tight as they will go!
