2008 Cadillac SRX Hood Cable Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the Hood Cable on 2008 Cadillac SRX?

  A: Start by opening the hood then taking out the Hood Latch before beginning the hood primary latch release cable installation. You should first disconnect the Hood Cable from the Hood Latch then secure the cable with string for easy handling through the engine compartment. Begin by disassembling the hood release handle fasteners to detach the Hood Cable from the handle mechanism. First clear the grommet from the wheel opening before moving the Hood Cable off the vehicle body. To install the new Hood Cable simply move the string to its ends before guiding both items into the car interior then removing the string. Insert the grommet into the wheel opening while hooking the Hood Cable to the hood release handle. Secure the handle to the vehicle by installing three fasteners while leaving them at 2 n.m (18 lb in). Follow these steps to install the Hood Latch: pull the string which releases the Hood Cable through the engine compartment then discard the string to connect the cable to the Hood Latch. Finally, close the hood.
