Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-005
When a stretched or snapped cable leaves the hood stuck shut, the Dorman hood release cable 912-740 is built to replace it on the 2015-2020 Ford Edge, 2015-2018 Lincoln MKX and 2019-2020 Lincoln Nautilus. This Dorman - OE Solutions front hood release cable assembly links the interior release handle to the hood latch, carrying the pull from the handle so the latch can let go of the hood.
Signs a hood release cable may need replacing include a release handle that pulls with little or no resistance, a handle that stays loose after it is pulled, or a hood that will not pop open. A seized or damaged latch can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the cable and latch before ordering. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full application details.

Will this Dorman hood cable fit my 2015-2020 Ford Edge?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2020 Ford Edge, and it also fits several Lincoln models. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your vehicle.
What does a hood release cable do?
It connects the interior release handle to the hood latch. When you pull the handle, the cable carries that pull to the latch so it releases the hood.
What are signs the hood release cable is failing?
A handle that feels slack or loose, or a hood that stays latched when the handle is pulled, may mean the cable is stretched or broken. A seized latch can act the same way, so inspect both.
Does this part replace number FT4Z16916A?
Yes. This cable cross-references to FT4Z16916A, so it can serve as a replacement where that number is specified.
How does this cable compare to a dealership replacement?
Dorman describes it as comparable quality at a lower cost than a dealership replacement, backed by its U.S.-based team of engineers and quality control experts.
