A hood release cable carries the pull from the interior release lever to the hood latch, so the latch lets go when you pull the lever. Signs it may need replacing include a lever that feels loose or snaps back with no resistance, a lever that is stiff or hard to pull, or a hood that stays shut when the lever is pulled. A faulty latch or lever can cause similar symptoms, so inspect them before you replace the cable. If a stretched, frayed or broken cable is the cause, this Dorman hood cable replaces it.
