When you pull the handle, the cable carries that motion to the hood latch so the latch can let go of the hood. Over time a cable can stretch, fray or snap, and a handle can crack or break. Signs this part may need replacing include a handle that pulls with little or no resistance, a hood that no longer releases, or visible damage to the cable or handle. If a failed cable is the cause, this Dorman hood cable replaces it. Check the latch too, because a sticking or damaged latch can cause similar symptoms.
