2004 Cadillac DeVille Hood Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Release Hood Cable on 2004 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: The replacement process of the Hood Cable starts by opening the hood while removing the upper filler panel. Begin by uninstalling the Hood Latch and afterward take off the Hood Cable from the Hood Latch. String the Hood Cable and then secure it with string to help passive installation through the engine area. First open the clips through which the Hood Cable attaches to the vehicle and remove the front wheelhouse liner. First remove the fasteners that attach the hood release handle to its place before disconnecting the Hood Cable from the handle. A piece of string should be tied around the Hood Cable to make installation through the passenger area easier. After removing the Hood Cable grommet from the wheel opening the cable needs to be taken out. Install the string at both Hood Cable ends before guiding the cables through the passenger compartment while removing the string during this process. The Hood Cable grommet should be positioned inside the wheel opening before fixing the Hood Cable to the handle with its corresponding fasteners. Guide the string along with the Hood Cable into the engine area before you remove it, place the cable into the available clips and secure the clips. Before closing the hood conduct the sequential installation of the front wheelhouse liner as well as the Hood Latch with the upper filler panel.
