Detailed Description
Dorman 912-300 is a replacement trunk lid release cable engineered to replace the original cable on select 1995-2001 Chevrolet Cavalier and 1995-2001 Pontiac Sunfire models. If the factory cable has stretched or broken, this part helps restore normal trunk release operation without changing the original release setup. The steel inner cable and plastic sleeve are specified to match the needs of the application, while the black finish keeps the routing component discreet under trim panels. This part cross-references GM 22606550 for the same application.
Vehicle Fitment
- Fits 1995-2001 Chevrolet Cavalier, N/A
- Fits 1995-2001 Pontiac Sunfire, N/A
What It Can Fix
- Broken trunk release cable
- Stretched cable that no longer pulls the latch correctly
- Intermittent or failed trunk opening from the release handle
- Difficulty opening the trunk from the interior release mechanism
- Loss of normal trunk lid release operation on the listed vehicles
Installation Notes and Tips
Route the replacement cable along the original path and verify smooth movement before reassembling trim panels. Confirm the trunk release handle and latch mechanism operate freely, since a binding latch can place extra load on the cable. This part is intended for the listed Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire applications, and the part number 912-300 should be matched to the vehicle before installation.
