• Q: How to replace the Release Hood Cable on 2005 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: The first step to install a new Hood Cable is opening the hood then dissociating the Hood Latch. The first step is to remove the release cable from its structure while recording its engine compartment path to use during reassembly. After removing the left front carpet retainer from inside the vehicle the carpet must be repositioned to reveal the handle. Start by pulling the release handle up before prying back the front section of the handle slip and then removing the hood hinge cable grommet along with cable from the core support at the dash front. The hood hinge cable should be inserted with the grommet into the dash front surface while the hood release handle must fit into the hinge pillar for final installation. You should position back the carpet and install the front carpet retainer. The body structure needs the Hood Cable to pass through its structure before setting up the Hood Latch. End the procedure by checking the Hood Cable function then operating the hood to its closed position.
