When a pull on the handle no longer pops the hood, the Dorman hood release cable, part number 912-006, is built to replace the worn-out or broken original. It is a direct replacement for the 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee and comes as a hood release cable with handle.
A hood release cable connects the interior release handle to the hood latch. Pulling the handle draws the cable and frees the latch so the hood can open. Over time a cable can stretch, fray or snap, and a handle can crack. If a failed cable or handle is why your hood won't open, this 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee hood release cable replaces both the cable and the handle.
- Direct replacement: made to match the original cable on the listed applications.
- Durable construction: manufactured within strict tolerances and built for reliable longevity.
- Cost-effective choice: comparable quality at a lower cost than a replacement bought at the dealership.
- Trustworthy value: backed by a team of engineers and quality control experts in the United States.
This Dorman hood cable may need replacing if the handle pulls with little or no resistance, the hood stays latched when you pull, the cable is frayed or kinked, or the handle is broken. A seized or damaged latch can cause similar symptoms, so check the latch before you replace the cable. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full fitment details.
