A hood release cable links the release handle to the hood latch. It carries the pull from the handle to the latch so the hood can be opened. Over time a cable can stretch, fray, kink or snap. If that has happened to yours, this Dorman hood cable is designed to take the original's place.
Signs a hood release cable may need replacing include a handle that feels loose or slack, a handle that needs extra force, a hood that does not pop when the handle is pulled, and a visibly frayed or broken cable.
