2005 Cadillac DeVille Hood Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The first step to replace the Hood Cable entails opening the hood followed by removing the upper filler panel. Turn next to the Hood Latch extraction while disconnecting the Hood Cable from its attachment to the Hood Latch. The installation process requires a string to wrap around the Hood Cable because it needs to pass through the engine compartment space first. Peel off the front wheelhouse lining before unscrewing the clips that anchor the Hood Cable to the vehicle components. Start by taking out the fasteners which attach the hood release handle and then disconnect the Hood Cable from this handle. You should tie string to the Hood Cable for easier installation through the passenger compartment before you remove the Hood Cable grommet from the wheel opening and extract the cable. Install the new Hood Cable by passing the string across its ends until reaching the passenger compartment where you should remove the string before continuing. Put the Hood Cable grommet into the wheel opening position while connecting the cable to the hood release handle through fastening hardware. Expressions are used to pull the Hood Cable inside the engine compartment until the string is removed again before setting the cable into the clips for final clip closure. Close the hood after reinstalling the front wheelhouse liner as well as the Hood Latch and the upper filler panel.
