Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-485
Swap out a worn-out or broken cable with the Dorman hood release cable, part number 912-203. This durably built hood release cable with handle links the release handle in the cabin to the hood latch, and it is a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2005 Toyota RAV4.
If your 2001-2005 Toyota RAV4 hood release feels slack, the handle pulls without popping the latch, or the handle itself has broken, a stretched or failed cable may be the cause. If it is, this Dorman hood cable replaces it. Check the latch and its linkage before replacing, and see the "Vehicles it fits" section for full application details.

What does a hood release cable do?
It connects the interior hood release handle to the hood latch. Pulling the handle draws the cable and releases the latch so the hood can be opened.
Is this a 2001-2005 Toyota RAV4 hood release cable?
Yes. Dorman lists 912-203 as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2005 Toyota RAV4. The "Vehicles it fits" section shows the full application details.
Does the Dorman 912-203 come with a handle?
Yes. Dorman supplies 912-203 as a hood release cable with handle, so the release handle comes with the cable.
What are signs a hood release cable may need replacing?
Signs include a handle that pulls with little resistance, a hood that won't pop when the handle is pulled, or a broken handle. The latch can also be at fault, so check both.
How is a hood release cable installed?
The cable routes from the release handle to the hood latch and attaches at each end. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct routing and attachment steps.
