2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Hood Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Hood Cable for the Primary Latch Release on 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: The initial step involves opening the hood followed by adapting a Hood Latch retaining system to stop locking until a new cable installation is complete. The Hood Latch bracket requires a squeezed retainer to separate the Hood Cable for removal from its bracket location. Follow the standard operating procedure for your specific engine whether you have a 3.4 l or 3.8 l vehicle before you proceed to remove the air cleaner. Extract the Hood Cable retainer clips from both upper tie bar and engine compartment rail before breaking the cable from its anchor point on the hood release mechanism. Squeeze the retainer to detach the Hood Cable from the Hood Latch before removing it from the Hood Latch bracket. When you reach the carpeted area pull it back to access the cable ensuring the wire or string end stays in the passenger compartment for installation help tie it to the end of the Hood Cable. Precision use of a small flat-bladed tool will extract the grommet from the dashboard and extract the Hood Cable. Insert the new Hood Cable into the vehicle framework by pulling it through the dash until the grommet finds its seat while maintaining the wire or string attached to its end. Joint the grommet first before installing retainers on both the engine compartment side rail and upper tie bar. Reinstall the air filter then link the Hood Cable to the Hood Latch before you attach it to the hood release lever. To complete, put back the carpet into its proper location before removing the Hood Latch block and checking the cable's functionality while closing the hood.
