Saturn LS Hood Cable
Saturn LS Hood Cable provides drivers with the option of quickly popping the hood for safe and easy access to the engine bay for engine checks and repairs. Inside the cabin, a small release lever connects to the Hood Cable, which passes through the firewall to a connection point where a second Hood Cable segment splits off to each latch so that a single pull frees both catches simultaneously. This push-pull wire system depends on a strong inner strand and protective sleeve to keep moisture out, but years of vibration and weather conditions can cause the cover to crack, allowing water in and causing the line to stretch until the hood is stuck in place. Early Saturn sedans had the same basic dual-section layout, and in later LS updates, the design remained the same, but better sheath materials were applied, the major difference being longer-lasting insulation instead of a new mechanism. Regardless of the production year, having a clean and kink-free Hood Cable ensures a vital connection between the driver and latch because a worn Hood Cable can make even routine oil checks impossible on any Saturn LS.
Each OEM Saturn LS 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.

Push the rubber grommet through the firewall and pull the hood cable into the vehicle. With the new cable attached to the wire or string, pull the wire or string back through the firewall until the new cable reaches the spring.
