I used Xyloft's pic and suggestion and mine popped right open. Sure enough the cable must have stretched about an inch. I pulled the cable going to the inside the interior latch out if the black plastic housing with the ferrule that sits in the housing sitting outside back about 1/2 inch. This gives me the tension missing on the cable. I used a couple of zip ties to hold the ferrule outside the housing so it would not pull through. Will test this afternoon but seems to me like the cable that stretched is the one from the black junction to the hood latch.
Will report back if this works. It is Sunday and once I order the cable will be days or a week before it comes in I guess.
