  Q: How to replace the Hood Cable for the Primary Latch Release on Chevrolet K3500?

  A: The replacement process for the Hood Primary Latch Cable starts by using a rod to trigger the primary latch tab on the left side of the lock assembly followed by lifting the hood. A flat-blade tool should be inserted into the clip to pull the cable out of the primary latch then gently manipulate the cable grommet from the lock flange. To access the cable you must eliminate the upper radiator grille and shift it forward to reach the cable connection between the radiator support and wheelhouse retaining clips. Use a maintenance tool to lightly loosen the two bolts beneath the instrument panel before pushing the cable and grommet through the engine compartment opening toward the cab interior. Installation starts by putting the cable through the driver's side cowl before gently pushing both cable and grommet into the engine bay. After securing the hood release handle's bottom instrument panel bolts with 2 screws begin sliding the grommet inside of the engine compartment. Then direct the cable through the retaining clips towards the radiator support. Reattach the upper radiator grille along with connecting the cable to the primary latch before you lower down the hood.
