Product Details

Dorman 912-003 is a hood release cable made to replace the original cable on specific vehicle years, makes, and models. The steel inner cable provides the strength needed for repeated hood release use, while the plastic outer material helps protect the cable during routing through the vehicle body. This part is listed for 1982-1993 Chevrolet S10, 1983-1994 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 1982-1990 GMC S15, 1983-1991 GMC S15 Jimmy, 1991-1993 GMC Sonoma, 1992-1994 GMC Jimmy, and 1991-1994 Oldsmobile Bravada. Part number 912-003 is also referenced for OE-style replacement needs on these applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 15627455, SK721010) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Broken hood release cable that prevents the hood from opening
• Stretched cable that no longer pulls the latch correctly
• Frayed or binding cable movement at the release handle
• Loss of hood release function on Chevrolet S10 and GMC Sonoma platforms
• Failed cable operation on GMC Jimmy and Oldsmobile Bravada models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify routing and attachment points against the original cable before installation. Confirm the 73-inch length matches the vehicle’s factory routing path, and inspect the hood latch and release handle for wear that could affect operation. For best results, compare the removed cable to Dorman 912-003 before final assembly.

Quality Assurance
