Thanks guys. When I put the pb blaster on I flexed the cable around but it didn't really help. I'll keep on trying, though.
Also, do any of you have advice for getting the (I wish I would quit forgetting what things are called)cowl ventilator(?) unstuck, too. I believe that it has something to do with the lever, as when I pushed on the panel or whatever you want to call it it seemed like it wanted to move.
