- Releases the hood latch mechanism that opens your vehicle’s hood
- Connects the hood release handle to the hood latch mechanism
- Replace if your hood release handle is stuck or is not working
The Hood Release Cable on your Nissan connects the hood release handle found in the cabin of your vehicle to the latch underneath the hood. When you pull the hood release handle, it engages the Hood Release Cable and allows the hood latch to release or “pop” the hood.
Without the Hood Release Cable, you might not be able to open your vehicle's hood since the hood latch and the release handle in the cabin wouldn't be connected. Without a functioning Hood Release Cable, you would likely need to unlatch your hood by methods not recommended by Nissan, as they could damage the hood latch and cause it to open while driving. Opening your hood outside of pulling the hood release handle may leave the hood latch damaged or not functioning correctly, as well as the parts surrounding the hood latch mechanism.
The Hood Release Cable on your vehicle may rust or wear out over time, causing it to break or get stuck during operation. It's likely time to replace your Hood Release Cable if pulling your hood release handle does nothing or if you feel excessive resistance when pulling the release handle.
