I ended up having to take it in to have to have the hood poped. They jacked up the car and took off the wheel and the black plastic thing to get to the cable. It is probably somthing that most people could do, but I am just too dumb mechanically to do it myself. I even have to go to the dealer to have the oil changed! Good luck. As the others said, give it a shot, but if worse comes to worse, call AAA and get you Box over to the dealer to get it taken care of. FYI: If took them about 1.5 hours and ran just over $250 out the door. Good luck.
