Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-5003
When pulling the handle no longer pops the hood, the Dorman hood release cable, part number 912-071, is designed to put a working cable and handle back in place. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2007 Saturn Ion. Dorman built it to take the place of a worn-out or broken original on that car, and it comes supplied with the release handle.
A hood release cable connects the release handle to the hood latch. When you pull the handle, the cable carries that pull to the latch and releases it. Your Dorman hood cable may need replacing if the handle pulls with little or no resistance, if the hood won't release when the handle is pulled, or if the handle is broken or loose. A seized or damaged latch can cause similar symptoms, so check the latch before replacing the cable. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete fitment details.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does a hood release cable do?
It connects the release handle to the hood latch. Pulling the handle carries force through the cable to release the latch so the hood can be opened.
Will this Saturn Ion hood release cable fit my 2003-2007 Saturn Ion?
It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2007 Saturn Ion. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm it fits your vehicle.
Does it come with a handle?
Yes. Dorman describes part number 912-071 as a hood release cable with handle, so the release handle comes with the cable.
What are signs a hood release cable is failing?
Signs include a handle that pulls loosely with no resistance, a hood that won't release, or a broken or loose handle. A seized latch can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the cable.
How is the cable installed?
The cable and its handle go in where the originals were, with the cable routed along the original path to the hood latch. Follow the vehicle's service information for the correct procedure.
