Detailed Description

Dorman 912-5002 is a hood release cable replacement for vehicles that need a new cable after the original has stretched, frayed, or broken. The steel inner cable is paired with a plastic outer sheath to support smooth operation and proper routing through the body structure. This part is intended for direct replacement use on specific applications, including select Chevrolet and GMC models where the hood release system relies on a cable-only service part. This part cross-references GM OE 15630982 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Broken hood release cable that will not pull the latch
• Frayed or stretched cable causing weak release action
• Sticking hood release operation from cable wear
• Loss of hood opening function after cable separation
• Need for a replacement cable during hood latch service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify routing, attachment points, and overall length before installation. Because the latch and handle are not included, reuse the existing components if they are serviceable or replace them separately as needed. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment before ordering, especially on Chevrolet and GMC applications. Part number 912-5002 should be matched to the original cable layout and connection style for proper operation.
