Recommendations for Hood Release Cable issues

We do not recommend replacing a non-adjustable cable with an adjustable cable as a means of compensating for hood release lever assembly or hood latch that may be out of adjustment. The reason for this is that the malalignment is likely due to wear hood release lever assembly or hood latch. If this is the case, even installing an adjustable cable will not correct the issue, and the hood will likely remain defective, or become defective very soon after replacement.

Can I replace the Hood Release Cable myself?

This is a perfect job for a DIY project that takes less than an hour. Diagnostics is as easy as listed above, and replacement requires few tools in most cases. The only concern is how and where to route the hood release cable, and this can be simplified by taping the end of the new cable to the end of the old cable before pulling the old cable out
