Frequently Asked Questions
What does a hood release cable / hood control cable assembly do?
It links the interior hood release handle to the hood latch. Pulling the handle moves the cable, which operates the latch so the hood can be opened.
Will the Dorman 912-5002 fit my 1997-2002 Chevrolet C6500 Kodiak?
It is listed for the 1997-2002 Chevrolet C6500 Kodiak and the 1993-2002 Chevrolet B7, along with other Chevrolet and GMC models. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for your truck.
What part number does the Dorman 912-5002 interchange with?
It cross-references to 15630982.
What are signs a hood release cable is failing?
A loose or stuck handle, or a hood that won't release when the handle is pulled, may mean the cable is stretched, frayed or broken. Inspect the latch as well, because a faulty latch can cause the same signs.
Is this cable made to match the original?
Yes. Dorman makes this cable to match the original on the listed applications, and it is produced within strict tolerances.
