Well known issue.
I've been there myself.
You need to PM one of the moderators on here (they are the ones whose names are in green) and they will sort you out.

Either send a PM to one of the moderators (Dragrad, Phil, sworks, Greeners, Reebs, Simondi, FrazzleTC, suzublu) or wait for one of them to get in touch after seeing your post.

i think the special instructions only work if the cable from the lever in the footwell has "snapped", not if one of the 2 cables that runs across the front of the slam panel have snapped. That's a new trick that is needed when that happens
