Thanks for the helpful tips. Tried again leaving the key in the door. No difference.
Using thin wire with alligator clips to carry power from donor battery. Will that work, or do I need jumper cables?

Meanwhile, I've removed the fender splash shield/liner and looked up at the area near the back of the headlight, felt around the sheet metal next to that and am not seeing or feeling the pull ring.

Came back home to read the postings again to see if I missed something about the cable. Wondered if it had been pulled once before, would the ring come off?

Also now wondering if the cable has already been re-routed. I'll go back out to check the tow hook area when it warms up a little. Today is 15 degrees with wind, making it close to zero.
