2006 Buick Rendezvous Hood Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Release Hood Cable on 2006 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: Begin the replacement process of the Hood Cable by first opening the hood while removing the left diagonal brace (Brace Replacement - Front Fender Upper Diagonal - Left). Start by unmounting the air cleaner assembly device made for either 3.6l or 3.5l engines. Take off the Hood Cable from the Hood Latch bracket then detach it from the Hood Latch. The Hood Cable retainers should be disconnected from their positions on both the upper tie bar and the engine compartment side rail. Take out the hood release handle cable by pulling back the carpet in order to reach the component while maintaining the wire or string inside the passenger area. Use the wire or string to attach its end to the Hood Cable for future cable installation. You need to remove the grommet from the dash with a small flat-bladed tool while you complete the Hood Cable replacement steps in the dash area and then remove the wire or string from the cable. The installation requires using the wire or string to connect to the new Hood Cable before inserting it into the vehicle to draw the grommet into position. Install the grommet into position with the small flat-bladed tool and after that attach the Hood Cable retainers where they belong to both engine compartment side rail and upper tie bar. Connect and install the Hood Cable to its respective place on the Hood Latch as well as the hood release handle. The air cleaner installation requires removing carpet and the block from the Hood Latch before reinstating the assembly following engine specifications. After testing the Hood Cable function and opening the hood finally install the left front diagonal brace (Brace Replacement - Front Fender Upper Diagonal - Left).
