Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-082
When the release handle pulls loose with no resistance—or the hood simply won't pop open—a stretched or broken cable is a common cause. The Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable 912-443 provides the mechanical link between the cabin handle and the hood latch. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement made to match the original cable on the 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota [All] and 1998-2003 Dodge Durango [All]. If a worn or snapped cable is why your hood won't release, this replaces it.
Pulling the cabin handle draws the steel inner cable through its plastic housing to actuate the hood latch. It's a cost-effective alternative to a dealership replacement at comparable quality. Country of origin: China.
