Cadillac DTS Hood Cable

The Cadillac DTS Hood Cable allows drivers to quickly pop the hood to perform routine checks and maintain easy access to the hood for inspection or topping off fluids. The cable connects the release handle beside the driver seat to a junction under the hood. Then, secondary lines run to each latch, so one pull of the handle sends tension through the whole Hood Cable system and unhooks both catches simultaneously. Earlier Cadillac DTS versions were based primarily on the use of a single, continuous Hood Cable, while later setups featured the two-stage design of primary and branch leads. The difference between the two is that with the split design, less stress is placed on any one segment of the Hood Cable system, making it easier to replace. Regardless of the style, the idea remains the same: to translate a small lever tug into sufficient force to release the latch and let the hood raise a few inches for manual lifting. Over the years, the braided core may fray, the outer sheath may crack, and moisture may sneak in, causing the Hood Cable to stretch or break, leaving the hood stuck shut. When that occurs, owners of Cadillac DTS are compelled to install a new Hood Cable as soon as possible to prevent the loss of access to fuses, oil, and other under-the-hood essentials, as only a responsive mechanism ensures reliable opening every time.

Each OEM Cadillac DTS 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.

Cadillac DTS Hood Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: How to remove a Hood Cable and Hood Latch on Cadillac DTS?
    A:
    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.
