Jeep Grand Cherokee Hood Cable

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Hood Cable enables the driver to pop the hood from the cabin. This gives instant access for checking or repairing. Each Jeep sport utility has a flexible steel Hood Cable inside, linking the release handle to a junction close to the grille. Twin secondary cables run from there to each latch so that both sides free at the same time. Earlier versions of the Grand Cherokee applied the same two-stage setup, while new versions maintained the same layout but improved outer sheathing on the Hood Cable to better resist cracking that once allowed water in and shortened the Hood Cable's life. When a Jeep owner feels the lever go slack or the hood doesn't spring unlocked, it's usually because the Hood Cable is stretched or broken, no longer enabling it to pull the latch forward. When you replace it, it restores smooth pull effort, keeping regular maintenance easy. Make sure to inspect your Grand Cherokee Hood Cable regularly for fraying, moisture damage, and stiffness so that the cable does not fail suddenly and you do not lose the everyday convenience a Jeep Grand Cherokee offers.
