Product Overview

Dorman 912-091 is built for Ford Ranger and Ford Explorer Sport applications where the original hood release cable has stretched, frayed, or separated. The steel inner cable provides the pulling strength needed for hood release operation, while the plastic outer material helps route and protect the cable along the vehicle path. If you are replacing a broken hood release cable on a 1998-2011 Ford Ranger or a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport, this part number 912-091 offers a direct-fit service solution.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Broken interior hood release cable
  • Frayed or stretched cable that no longer opens the hood cleanly
  • Sticking hood latch release operation
  • Loss of tension between the handle and hood latch
  • Failed cable routing caused by wear in the original assembly

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle year and model before installation. Route the cable along the original path and confirm the hood latch releases smoothly after installation. Inspect the latch mechanism and release handle for wear at the same time, since related components can affect cable performance. This part cross-references 1L5Z16916AA for the same application.
