• Q: How to replace the Hood Cable for the Primary Latch Release on 2000 Cadillac Seville?

  A: The hood primary latch release replacement process starts by opening the hood then removing the Hood Latch. Secure a string to the Hood Cable before putting it through the engine compartment opening. Then remove the front wheelhouse panel. You need to remove the three clips that attach the Hood Cable to your vehicle while simultaneously removing its fasteners from the hood release handle. First disconnect the Hood Cable from the hood release handle before attaching a second string around the cable for passenger compartment installation. Start by removing the Hood Cable grommet from the wheel opening before extracting the Hood Cable from the vehicle body. The string should be moved to both ends of the Hood Cable before directing the cable into the passenger compartment. Connect the Hood Cable to the hood release handle after removing the string then attach fasteners to secure the handle. Push the Hood Cable grommet into the wheel opening before pulling the string together with the cable back to the engine compartment. Finally release both cable and string. Complete the installation by putting the Hood Cable clips into position and tightening the front wheel panel while also installing the Hood Latch when closing the hood.
