As far as I no the only way is pulling the cable
Have you tryed taking the pannal under stearing wheel off to make sure its still connected there either that or try locate the cable under the bonnet some how


Good luck

Bend the little pipe nozzle the wd 40 cans have in the panel spacing towards the general area of the release latch.

Same thing happened to me but once the wd40 loosened it i chucked some silicon based lubucant all over the latch and it pops up everytime now.
