Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-011
When pulling the release handle no longer pops the hood, the Dorman hood release cable 912-031 is built to take the place of a worn-out or broken cable that connects the interior release handle to the hood latch. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2006-2013 Chevrolet Impala, 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse and 2014-2016 Chevrolet Impala Limited, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
A hood release cable carries the pull from the release handle to the latch so the hood can be opened. Over time a cable can stretch, fray or snap, leaving the handle slack and the hood shut. If a failed cable is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Check the latch as well before replacing the cable. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of compatible vehicles.

What does a hood release cable do?
It links the release handle inside the vehicle to the hood latch. Pulling the handle draws the cable, which releases the latch so the hood can be opened.
Will the Dorman hood cable fit my 2006-2013 Chevrolet Impala?
Yes, 912-031 is listed for the 2006-2013 Chevrolet Impala, the 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse and the 2014-2016 Chevrolet Impala Limited. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for other vehicles.
What are signs a hood release cable may need replacing?
Signs include a hood that won't release when you pull the handle, a handle that feels slack with no resistance, or a frayed or kinked cable. A sticking latch can cause similar symptoms, so check it too.
Is this cable made to match the original?
Yes. Dorman designs the 912-031 cable to match the original cable on the listed vehicles and manufactures it within strict tolerances for reliable longevity.
Why choose this over a dealership cable?
Dorman offers it as a cost-effective choice, with comparable quality at a lower cost than a dealership replacement. It is backed by a team of engineers and quality control experts in the United States.
