Release Cable

Begin this replacement task by first opening the hood and supporting it while disconnecting the negative Battery Cable. The windshield wiper Washer Reservoir needs removal before you detach screws from the underhood fuse block as you extract the unit from the fender surface. Close the Hood Latch so that it stays unlocked until the new installation of the cable. Separate the Hood Cable from its connection with the main latch assembly through application of a flat-bladed tool to free the clip and rise up the cable assembly. The mechanic's wire should be attached to the cable end before removal of clips that hold the Hood Cable in place using a flat-bladed tool. Guide the cable through its path starting from behind the antilock brake module while also passing the opening between the radiator support and left fender. Take off the trim panel at the body hinges and also remove the grommet from the Hood Cable and stripping that fastens it to the cowl's side edge. You need to remove the Hood Cable and its lever bolts from the cowl side panel so you can feed the cable through the cowl panel from inside the vehicle. Start by installing the Hood Latch assembly and direct the cable passage through the cowl panel from inside the vehicle. The cable should follow the left fender pathway where it passes behind antilock brake module and underhood fuse block and windshield wiper/washer reservoir then turns at the end of radiator support. Secure the Hood Cable then install its levers to the cowl side panel while tightening them to 9 n.m (80 lb in) and use adhesive tape to fasten the cable to the cowl's side. Secure the Hood Cable by attaching it to both retaining clips and the Hood Cable grommet and the Hood Latch cable at the latch position. The procedure ends with reinstallation of the body hinge pillar trim panel and the windshield wiper/washer reservoir screws and the screws for the underhood fuse block. Look for the correct functioning of the Hood Cable before restoring the hood and joining the negative Battery Cable.

Start the replacement of Hood Cable by first opening and supporting the hood and secondly disconnecting the negative Battery Cable. The underhood fuse block must be removed first by unplugging the windshield wiper Washer Reservoir before you remove the securing screws. Following this you can pull the unit from the fender. The Hood Latch must remain blocked to avoid locking mechanisms until you install the new cable. A flat-bladed tool will free the clip on the primary latch assembly to allow you to uninstall the cable assembly from the primary latch. The installation process requires home mechanics to authorize wire usage as a cable extension. A flat-bladed tool should be used to open the hoodie retention clips. The Hood Cable must be pulled backwards through an opening between the radiator support and left fender along with behind the antilock brake module. The body hinge trim panel and Hood Cable grommet require removal along with the adhesive tape that supports the cable near the cowl. Take out the Hood Cable from the vehicle while guiding the cable through the cowl panel beneath the instrument panel from inside. Start by installing the Hood Latch assembly through the cowl as you direct the cable from inside the vehicle followed by these points: left fender beyond the antilock brake module, underhood fuse block, and windshield wiper/washer reservoir before wrapping it around the radiator support end. Wait to install the cowl side panel Hood Cable and lever bolts until their torque stays at 9 n.m (80 lb in). After that, apply adhesive tape to keep the cable in place on the cowl side. After mounting the Hood Cable within the retaining clips and grommet you should connect it to the Hood Latch cable before the latch itself. Install the body hinge pillar trim panel followed by screws that secure the underhood fuse block and return the windshield wiper/washer reservoir. Last step involves connecting the negative cable while inspecting the Hood Cable for correct operation then closing the hood.
