What does a hood release cable do?
It connects the interior hood release handle to the hood latch. Pulling the handle draws the cable, which releases the latch so the hood can open.
What are signs my hood release cable may need replacing?
Common signs include a release handle that feels slack, a hood that will not pop when the handle is pulled, or a frayed or kinked cable. Inspect the latch as well, because a sticking latch can cause similar symptoms.
