Lucky me. Searched the board and the net. My cable wasn't broken. Just stuck. Pulled release and then pried it open gentle moving the screwdriver under the hood. Lubed the cable at the stops and sprayed the inside the tubing (as much as possible) with Wd-40. Pulled hood release open several times to lube and PERFECT.
Take away for me is to alert all the owners of older 9-5's to do this as preventative maintanance before this happens. I wish I had. BTW, 2000 9-5 113K Original TB, only one DIC replaced @ 70K, replaced alternator @ 110K, replaced ABS controller @ 90K. All in all I feel pretty lucky.
