When a worn-out or broken cable leaves the hood stuck shut, the Dorman hood release cable 912-191 is built to take its place. It links the release handle to the hood latch and comes with its own handle.
It fits many vehicles, among them the 2006-2009 Ford Fusion, 2007-2009 Lincoln MKZ and 2006-2009 Mercury Milan. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
- Direct replacement: Made to match the original cable on the vehicles it is listed for, and supplied with the handle.
- Durable construction: Manufactured within strict tolerances for dependable, long-term use.
- Cost-effective solution: Comparable quality at a lower cost than buying a replacement at the dealership.
- Trustworthy value: Backed by a team of engineers and quality control experts in the United States.
A handle that pulls without releasing the hood, feels slack, or won't spring back may come from a stretched, frayed or broken cable, or from the latch itself, so check both first. If the cable is the cause, 912-191 replaces it as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
