Pontiac Firebird Hood Cable

The Pontiac Firebird Hood Cable allows drivers to quickly pop up the hood by connecting the cabin release handle with the front latch to make routine checks simple and safe. Running from the interior lever to a junction block, then out to individual latches, the Hood Cable transmits a straight pull, which releases both catches simultaneously so the hood lifts without struggle. Across Pontiac Firebird generations, the design is basically the same, with some versions being a single continuous line and others having the primary strand joined to short secondary leads, a slight change in routing but not operation. All are based on a steel core within a protective sleeve, and their optimal foe is age, when the sheaths, if they crack, allow the intrusion of moisture that corrodes or seizes the wire. A stretched or snapped Hood Cable leaves the hood stuck shut and prevents engine access, so a Hood Cable should be replaced as soon as the pull effort feels spongy or the latch hesitates to open, according to owners. With a good Hood Cable, any Pontiac Firebird owner can access vital parts with ease.

Each OEM Pontiac Firebird 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.

Pontiac Firebird Hood Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: How to remove and install the hood cable assembly on Pontiac Firebird?
    A:
    Hood Latch cable is a one piece unit, which comprises of the pull handle, control cable and housing. To uninstall it, open the hood chaperon and disconnect the cable from the primary hood latch assembly being very careful not to let the hood close and lock when the cable is disconnected. Release the cable from the body and then, after that, unbolt and take out the side trim panel on the side of the driver seat. Remove the control assembly housing from the cable handle cutout in the trim panel and pull out the cable assembly from the panel, then pass the cable through the firewall if possible. Installation is quite the reverse of the removal, making sure that the sealing grommet used in the dash panel is affixed before installation.
