How to remove a Hood Cable and Hood Latch on Cadillac DeVille?

To remove the latch, scribe a line around it for alignment purposes. Then, remove the retaining bolts that secure the hood latch to the radiator support. To remove the cable, detach it from the latch assembly and unclip all remaining cable retaining clips. In some models, removing the inner fender splash panel may be necessary to access and detach the cable from the clips. Pull the cable and grommet rearward into the passenger compartment until the wire or string is visible. Attach the wire or string to the new cable, ensuring that the new cable has a grommet attached. Pull the wire or string back through the firewall until the new cable reaches the latch assembly. Reinstall the new cable into the hood release lever in the passenger compartment, using pliers if necessary to crimp the retaining clip. The remaining installation steps are the reverse of the removal process.

Cadillac Deville Hood Cable

With the Cadillac Deville Hood Cable, drivers can easily pop their hoods whenever they please. The cable connects the cabin release lever to the latch assembly. With a simple pull, the latch will unlock. Furthermore, this provides access to the engine bay for servicing. The early Cadillac Deville sedans were configured such that a single continuous Hood Cable ran from lever to latch. Later, a two-stage setup was adopted. This two-stage setup consists of a main Hood Cable running to a junction block plus shorter branch cables running to each individual latch. This was probably done so tension was spread more evenly and the pull effort lightened up. At present, the part is listed by Cadillac as a serviceable cable assembly and modern Deville variants retain the same basic idea. Every style of Hood Cable is equipped with a steel inner wire sliding inside a protective sheath. When the lever is pulled, the inner wire draws the latch hook back and frees the hood. Over time, the sheath may crack or kink, moisture may get in, and the wire may stretch or snap. That leaves the hood stuck shut until you install a new Hood Cable, so you don't get stuck hood surprises.

Each OEM Cadillac Deville 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.
