Cadillac CTS Hood Cable

The Cadillac CTS Hood Cable links the hood release handle in the cabin to the twin latch assembly. It gives the driver control over opening the hood. Not only does it secure important engine parts, but it also helps in checking and repairing. Inside the sedan, an adequate strength steel cable connects the lever by the driver footwell to a junction under the sheet metal, on which two shorter leads branch off to each latch. This Hood Cable minimizes pull force while providing strong holding power. The early models were built on a design with a straightforward single strand, while the later versions had a nylon sheathed multi strand style that does not rust and crack. However, both have the same pull and release principle. Over the years, road grime and heat can crack the outer casing, allowing water to get in, which corrodes or stretches the inner wire, and the latch doesn't move anymore, trapping the hood in place. Swapping the Hood Cable or applying lubricant on the sheath at the first sign of noise or slack ensures smooth two-stage opening, flush mounting of the panel, and prevents costly prying damage. No matter what coupe you fitted to a 2004 coupe or a sporty sedan you have from 2019, the Hood Cable is one of the less visible yet important components in every Cadillac CTS engine bay. Hood Cable inspection on any Cadillac CTS model is a quick task that can save you a lot of hassle.

Each OEM Cadillac CTS Hood Cable we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
