Dorman's own description calls this part a trunk and fuel door release cable assembly, so it is listed here as a Trunk Lid Release Cable / Trunk and Fuel Door Release Cable Assembly. The cable carries the pull from the interior release lever to the trunk and fuel door releases. If a stretched or broken cable is why the lid will not open, this assembly replaces it.
- Direct replacement: matches the design and function of the original cable on the listed applications.
- Application specific: reverse engineered from the original design for an exact fit on the 2001-2005 Honda Civic.
- Durable design: built to high standards and intended to help avoid repeat failures.

Signs this part may need replacing: the release lever feels loose or slack, the lever takes more effort to pull than usual, or the trunk lid or fuel door does not open when you pull the lever. Check the latch and lever before you replace the cable, because they can cause the same symptoms.
