Hood Release Cable for 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota & More - Dorman 912-443

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.

• Handle included: ships with the release handle; a latch is not included.
• Steel and plastic build: a steel inner cable routed through a plastic outer housing.
• Sized to fit: 78-inch length with a 1.22 mm cable diameter.
• Durable construction: manufactured within strict tolerances for reliable longevity, backed by a team of engineers and quality-control experts in the United States.

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.
