2005 Buick LeSabre Hood Cable Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the Hood Cable on 2005 Buick LeSabre?

  A: Begin by opening the hood and taking out the Hood Latch before you detach the Hood Cable from its link with the Hood Latch. The installation process should start with stringing the Hood Cable and then removing the front fascia extension followed by the front wheelhouse liner from the vehicle. Use the tools to access the Hood Cable retaining clips which connect to the vehicle before uninstalling the screws holding the hood release handle and disconnecting the cable from the handle. Use thread to make handling the Hood Cable easier and remove its grommet from the wheel opening before removing the Hood Cable out of the vehicle. To install the Hood Cable begin by moving the attached string to each end of the new cable. You should then direct the cable through the passenger compartment before taking out the string once more. The Hood Cable must be linked with the hood release handle while the fasteners secure its junction. Since the Hood Cable grommet fits into the wheel opening, insert it by using a press and release motion. Then pull the Hood Cable inside the engine compartment alongside the string. Finally remove the string from the engine compartment. After placing the Hood Cable into its position you can close the clips before reinstalling the front wheelhouse liner, front fascia extension and Hood Latch. Finally close the hood.
