Robert,

Be sure that something you lubricated hasn't slipped off or out of  
place. Just pull the hatch and look. It's possible that the cable  
broke, but it would be a huge coincidence that would have served you  
better by having a brick of gold fall from an airplane into a safe  
place in your back yard.
