Bonnet release cable

I cannot open the bonnet with the cable. I recall that there is a process but can only be disclosed by PM. I would appreciate the necessary PM.

Feeling somewhat stupid after spending hours and many bruised hands releasing the junction box only to find that the problem was the actual release catch. The cable had come adrift from the lever. A relatively simple fix after removing the catch and no more bruised hands!!

Thank you for posting an update.
Many of us have done a job only to find it is something else.
