If a snapped cable or cracked 1996-2000 Honda Civic hood release handle has left you unable to pop the hood, the Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable 912-010 replaces both, since it comes with the handle. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic.
The hood release cable connects the interior pull handle to the hood latch. When the cable stretches, frays or breaks, pulling the handle may no longer release the latch. This Dorman hood release cable is built to replace a worn-out or broken original, so a failing 1996-2000 Honda Civic hood cable can be swapped out as one assembly with its handle.
- Cable with handle: supplied as a hood release cable with the handle included.
- Direct replacement: made to match the original cable on the listed applications.
- Durable construction: produced to strict tolerances for long service.
- Cost-effective choice: comparable quality at a lower price than a dealership replacement.
- Engineering support: backed by a team of engineers and quality control experts in the United States.
Signs this part may need replacing: a handle that pulls loosely with little or no resistance, a hood that won't release when the handle is pulled, or a cracked or broken handle. The latch itself can cause similar symptoms, so check it as well.
