Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-089
Replace a snapped or stretched hood release with the Dorman hood release cable, part number 912-079, a hood release cable supplied with its handle that links the interior release handle to the hood latch. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Dorman builds it to take the place of a worn-out or broken original cable. Engine details for each application are in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
If a failed cable is why your hood won't open from inside the vehicle, this cable replaces it. Dorman designs it as a direct replacement, made to match the original cable on the listed vehicles.
Signs this part may need replacing: the release handle pulls with little or no resistance, the handle feels stiff or binds, or the hood won't unlatch when you pull the handle. A sticking or seized hood latch can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before you replace the cable.
