can u tell if the cable snapped or if it simply came out of this notch that there is by the latch?


this happened to me. i used a flathead screwdriver to sort of move the latch from right to left looking towards the front of the car. Or if the cable isnt broken, u can somehow squeeze ur hand from the underside of ur car and try to pull on the cable, but u gotta remove the plastic shielding under there. I've done it both these ways.

i think what happened was, when my car was broken into, they disconnected the cable at the latch cuz they were mad there's nothing to steal in my car...aside from a flashlight and a cd case...which they did take...cut my foglight wiring and pull the cable out of the latch....
