Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-117
If a worn or broken cable is why your hood won't open from the inside lever, this Dorman hood release cable (part number 912-401) is built to take the place of the original. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2018 Ford Fusion. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and application details.
A hood release cable connects the release lever inside the cabin to the hood latch, so a pull on the handle can free the latch. When the original cable stretches, frays or snaps, the handle may feel slack and the hood can stay locked down. This cable assembly is designed to replace that failed cable.
Before you install a Dorman hood cable, confirm what is causing the problem, because a seized or damaged latch can cause similar symptoms. Follow the vehicle service information for cable routing and installation.
