Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-089
When the hood refuses to pop open, the Dorman hood release cable 912-201 is a direct replacement for a worn-out or broken cable on the 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 2006-2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2006-2010 Dodge Ram 3500. This Dorman - OE Solutions assembly comes as a hood release cable with handle. It links the pull handle inside the cab to the hood latch, so a pull on the handle releases the latch.
Over time a hood release cable can stretch, fray, kink or bind, and the handle can break. Signs this part may need replacing include a handle that pulls with little or no resistance, a handle that is stuck or broken, or a hood that stays latched when you pull the handle. If a failed cable is the cause, this assembly replaces it. For engine and trim details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
