Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-039
If a stretched or snapped cable has your hood stuck shut, the Dorman hood release cable 912-042 is built to replace the worn-out or broken original, and it includes the pull handle. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1992-1996 Ford F-150, 1992-1996 Ford F-250 and 1992-1996 Ford Bronco. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The cable connects the release handle inside the cab to the hood latch. Pulling the handle draws the cable, which lets the latch open. When the cable frays, stretches or breaks, the handle can go slack and the hood stays latched.
Before you install this Dorman hood cable, check the vehicle service information for the correct routing and for any clips or fasteners the job needs.
