The cable seems to be working as I can hear something move up front when I pull and the spring pulls it back. I think the latch is frozen. I did have a problem closing it about a year ago and it's been parked in my garage since last winter. Sprayed it down with WD-40 and tried poking around with a rod I fashioned to get through the grill and into the latch.

Had this problem in my 99 Outback Sport at about 120k. Several mechs could not figure it out incl Subaru dealer. It was my torque converter. About $800 fix. Would operate fine for about a 2 mile drive but more than that it it would bang around turns.
