Cadillac Escalade Hood Cable

The Cadillac Escalade Hood Cable allows drivers to quickly pop the hood for checks and repairs. On every Cadillac, it runs from the cabin release lever to a junction and from there splits towards each latch, which converts a light pull to a clean release. Early setups are based on a single long Hood Cable. Later models use a two-section design so that each latch has a direct tug, reducing strain and increasing reliability. Both versions retain the hood sealed from rain but are easy to open for working on the mighty Escalade engine. Heat, vibration, and age cause small cracks to form that allow moisture into the Hood Cable housing, breeding rust that can stretch or snap the wire and leave the hood locked tight. A crisp Hood Cable slides easily. The driver pulls, and the inner strand slides, allowing the latch to lift sufficiently to catch the safety catch. Swapping a worn line restores the solid feel you expect every Cadillac to provide, prevents roadside hassles, and keeps each Escalade ready for quick service with dependable Hood Cable action.

Each OEM Cadillac Escalade 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.
