There are two parts to the release mechanism, an electric motor driven release rod and the actual latch assembly. It could be a problem with either part but since the manual cable worked I would surmise it is the electric release portion. Age related issues could weaken parts of both the electric or mechanical latch components. I recently replaced the latch portion of mine when it failed to release although the electric part was fine. The issue was a fatigued spring and lever on the latch. The latch is 99651105303 and the electric portion is 99651112700. This was for my 2003 S, not sure of your year but I suspect the parts are the same.
