You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 15220451 fits your vehicle.

Open the hood and place blankets or pads over the fenders and cowl area of the body. Remove the hood latch bolts from the radiator support, including the hood latch mounting bolts and release cable bracket. Disconnect the hood cable by rotating the spring to provide slack and disconnect the cable from the hook in the spring. Inside the vehicle, use a trim tool to disengage the clips and remove the left carpet retainer/kick panel. You can use a trim tool to pry up the carpet retainer section of the driver's kick panel and release the clips at the door jamb to remove the carpet retainer/kick panel. Slip two small screwdrivers behind the hood latch handle and pry it from the body, sliding the handle rearward. You may need a screwdriver to pry it rearward. Free the cable end from the handle assembly. Pull back the carpeting on the driver's side and push the rubber hood cable grommet through the firewall toward the engine and pull the hood cable from the interior into the engine compartment. With the new cable attached to the wire or string, pull the wire or string back through the firewall until the new cable reaches the latch. Check that the cable grommet is properly seated in the engine compartment firewall. It should be seated in the firewall and not leak. Working in the passenger compartment, reinstall the hood latch handle into the bracket, sliding the handle onto its bracket until the retainer clips snap into the notches in the bracket. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal.
