Replace a worn or broken hood-opening link with the Dorman hood release cable 912-772, a hood release cable assembly from Dorman OE Solutions that serves as a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2022 Ford Transit Connect. It is built to replace a worn-out or broken cable and is made to match the original cable on that vehicle. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete application details.
The hood release cable links the interior release handle to the hood latch. When you pull the handle, it draws on the cable and releases the latch. If a stretched, frayed or broken cable is why the handle no longer frees the hood, this assembly replaces it.

- Durable construction: produced within strict tolerances for reliable longevity.

- Trustworthy value: backed by a team of engineers and quality control experts in the United States.
Signs this part may need replacing include a release handle that feels loose, a handle that pulls with no resistance, a stiff or binding handle, or a hood that stays latched when the handle is pulled. The handle and latch can cause the same signs, so check them before replacing the cable.
