Common Issues This Part Can Help Solve

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, and model before installation. Route the cable along the original path and confirm the handle and latch ends are seated correctly. Because the latch is not included, reuse or replace the existing latch hardware as needed based on the vehicle condition. After installation, test hood release operation several times to confirm smooth engagement and full latch release.
