2005 Cadillac CTS Hood Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Hood Cable on 2005 Cadillac CTS?

  A: You can start the Hood Cable replacement by opening the hood while also taking out the Hood Latch. You should disconnect the hood release cable from the Hood Latch. Then attach a string to the cable to simplify its passage through the engine compartment. The first step involves removing the hood release handle fasteners and disconnecting its cable from the handle. A string should be looped around the cable to aid your route installation. Free the hood release cable grommet from the wheel opening until you can extract the cable out from the vehicle. The new Hood Cable requires the string at both ends for installation before routing the cables into the passenger compartment then removing the string afterward. Insert the grommet into the wheel opening while attaching the hood release cable end to the hood release handle. Use three fasteners to mount the handle onto the vehicle while torquing the fasteners to 2 nm (18 lb in). After guiding the strings to run through the engine room loop the release cables through before you remove the string to connect these cables to the hood latches. Afterward install and close the Hood Latch.
