$48.99

Description

When the hood won't open because the release cable has stretched or snapped, the Dorman hood release cable 912-046 is a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2001 Ford Explorer and the 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer. It is supplied as a hood release cable with handle and connects the release handle inside the vehicle to the hood latch. The "Vehicles it fits" section has the full fitment details.

Direct replacement: Designed to match the original cable on the listed applications, so it can take the place of a worn-out or broken hood release cable.
Durable construction: Made within strict tolerances for reliable longevity.
Cost-effective solution: Comparable quality at a lower price than a dealership replacement.
Trustworthy value: Backed by Dorman's team of engineers and quality control experts in the United States.

Signs a hood release cable may need replacing include a handle that pulls loose with little or no resistance, a hood that no longer pops when the handle is pulled, and a handle that sticks or has broken. The latch can cause similar symptoms, so check it before replacing the cable. If the cable is the cause, this Dorman hood cable replaces it together with the handle.
