Detailed Description

Dorman 912-041 is a hood release cable replacement for 1987-1991 Ford Bronco, F-150, F-250, and F-350 applications. If the original cable is stretched, frayed, or broken, this replacement restores the connection between the interior release handle and the hood latch so the hood can be opened normally. This part cross-references OE-style part number E7TZ16916A and SKP SK721027 for the same application.

Built with a steel inner cable and plastic outer housing, this cable is intended to match the routing and function of the original component on the listed Ford truck and SUV models. The included handle supports a complete replacement of the release mechanism where the original handle is damaged or missing. Part number 912-041 is a practical choice for Ford Bronco and Ford F-Series owners needing a direct-fit hood release cable replacement.

What It Helps Fix

• Broken hood release cable that will not pull the latch

• Sticking or inconsistent hood opening operation
• Damaged interior release handle
• Loss of normal access to the hood latch on Ford Bronco and Ford F-Series trucks

Installation Notes and Tips
