Review on Dorman 912 001 Hood Release Cable by Daveon Jumps

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product, worth buying!

I installed it on my 2000 Chevy Blazer. Some reviews said the wire was too long but mine was perfect. Installation was a bit more complicated than some of the reviews that said you could just use the old cord as a guide to fish the new one through the firewall. That is not right. The fire barrier has a rubber bushing that prevents new equipment from entering. To get this you need to set aside some things. See photos. The old bushing comes out and the new bushing is on the new piece. It slides from inside the car to the engine to install the new bushing. Other than trying to find the 3 bolts holding the electronic brake in place, it wasn't too bad. My 2000 Blazer didn't have the screws to remove the required front grille piece. Just find the metal fittings and pull. I definitely recommend using some of the YouTube videos that are out there.

Pros
  • Direct replacement - this hood release cable fits the original cable on certain vehicles
Cons
  • None
