Hood Lock Cable - Replacement and Adjustment

1. Open the hood and remove the radiator grille as described in Section 11.

2. Loosen and remove the cable clamp bolt and the clamp from the hood lock platform (photo).



3. Disconnect the inner cable from the bonnet lock, then along the length of the cable, release it from any necessary mounting brackets, noting their position.

4. From inside the vehicle, unhook the hood release lever from the side trim panel and remove the lever from the vehicle. Remove the cable. Remove the rubber seal ring and inspect for signs of damage, replacing as necessary.

5. Install the sealing ring onto the new cable and lift the assembly up. Then have an assistant pass the cable through the bulkhead from the inside of the car while you check that the cable is positioned correctly in the engine compartment.

6. Once the cable is properly positioned, lock the release lever into place on the side trim panel and press the sealing ring into the partition slot.



7. Connect the cable to the hood latch, then install the cable clamp bolt and plate, pinching the bolt with your fingers. Secure the cable with all necessary clamps and ties.

8. To adjust the hood lock cable, place the cable housing in the clamp bar so that there is no play between the lock and the inner end of the cable. If the cable housing is correctly installed, tighten the clamp bolt securely. Have an assistant pull the release lever while you check that the latch travel allows the hood to open. Close the hood and check the release lever action. Adjust as necessary.

9. Open the hood again and install the radiator grille as described in Section 11.
