When a worn-out or broken cable leaves your hood stuck shut, the Dorman hood release cable, part number 912-066, is designed to replace it. It comes with its handle and is a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2002 Toyota Corolla.
If the 1998-2002 Toyota Corolla hood release cable in your car has stretched or snapped, pulling the handle may no longer release the hood latch. This Dorman - OE Solutions cable connects the interior release handle to the latch, so pulling the handle draws the cable and frees the hood.

- Durable construction: built to strict manufacturing tolerances for durability.
- Cost-effective solution: quality comparable to a dealership replacement, at a lower cost.
- Trustworthy value: backed by Dorman's team of engineers and quality control experts in the United States.
Signs this part may need replacing include a handle that pulls with little or no resistance, a hood that stays shut when the handle is pulled, or a broken handle. A sticking or damaged hood latch can cause similar symptoms, so check the latch as well before replacing the cable. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full application details.
