OEM 2008 Chevrolet Equinox Hood Cable

2008 Chevrolet Equinox Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Hood Cable on 2008 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: You must open the hood and eliminate the Hood Latch to perform hood primary latch replacement. To work on the hood primary latch extraction you must disconnect it from its location while remembering how it runs through the engine area for later assembly. To access the release handle the left front carpet retainer needs removal before repositioning the carpet to reveal the release handle. Press the release handle upward to put it in the elevated position before gently prying the front segment of the handle slip free from the hinge pillar. Cut out the hood primary latch grommet through the dash opening and retrieve the cable from beneath the core support. Installation begins with hood primary latch grommet insertion into the dash front followed by the hood release handle placement into the hinge pillar before securing it in position. Place the carpet back into proper position while also installing the front carpet retainer. After routing the Hood Cable through the body structure, install the Hood Latch and test the hood primary latch function before ending with hood closure.
