Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-211
When a worn or broken cable leaves the hood stuck shut, the Dorman hood release cable, part number 912-087, is a direct replacement for the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2006-2010 Jeep Commander. It comes as a hood release cable with handle. It links the interior pull handle to the hood latch, so pulling the handle draws the cable and releases the latch.
Over time a release cable can stretch, fray or snap, and a handle can crack or break. When that happens, the hood may stay latched no matter how hard you pull. If a failed cable is the cause, this Dorman hood cable is built to take the place of the worn-out or broken original on the listed Jeep applications.
See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete application details.
