Description

Hood release cable broken? Install the Dorman hood release cable, part number 912-008, to reconnect the release handle to the hood latch. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1987-1996 Jeep Cherokee, 1987-1992 Jeep Comanche and 1987-1990 Jeep Wagoneer. Dorman supplies it as a hood release cable with handle, so the handle comes as part of the unit.

A hood release cable carries the pull of the handle to the latch. The hood may stay shut if the cable stretches, frays or seizes, or if the handle snaps. If a worn-out or broken cable is the cause, this unit replaces it.

Direct replacement: Dorman designed this cable to match the original cable on the listed vehicles.
Durable construction: It is made within strict tolerances with long service in mind.
Cost-effective solution: Dorman describes it as comparable quality at a lower cost than a dealership replacement.
Trustworthy value: A team of engineers and quality-control experts in the United States stands behind it.

See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full application details.

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Jeep Cherokee hood release cable fit my 1987-1996 Cherokee?

Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1987-1996 Jeep Cherokee, and the "Vehicles it fits" section lists every application.

What does a hood release cable do?

It links the hood release handle to the hood latch. When you pull the handle, the cable pulls on the latch and releases the hood so it can be opened.

Does part 912-008 come with a handle?

Yes. Dorman describes 912-008 as a hood release cable with handle, so the release handle is part of this unit.

What are signs a hood release cable may need replacing?

Warning signs include a handle that pulls with no tension, a hood that won't release when the handle is pulled, a cable that feels stuck, or a broken handle. Check the latch too before replacing the cable.

How do I install this Dorman hood cable?

It routes from the release handle to the hood latch in place of the original cable. Follow your vehicle's service information for the correct routing and attachment points.
