How to replace the Hood Cable and Hood Latch on a Nissan Quest?

Start by opening the hood and pulling off the hood grille to access the latch, then draw a alignment guide around the latch so you know how to fit it back later. Pull out the latch joining bolts by the radiator support, then take the latch out. Take off the hood release cable by letting go of its hook on the latch unit and undoing the mounting screws holding it in place. Reinstall like you took it apart, and tune the latch so the hood settles comfortably with a small overlap between bumpers. To fix the cable, unplug it from the latch assembly first and take off the panel underneath the driver seat. Unscrew and remove the two bolts that mount the hood release lever and cable assembly. Pull the cable out into the compartment, seperating them from each other. Take a stiff wire, connect it to the cable end of the latch, and remove the retaining clips. Take out the grommet, then pull the cable through the firewall opening. Replace the old cable with the new one, put the grommet on the new cable, push the cable back through the firewall, and join it to the latch assembly. Finish the job by pressing on the edge of the grommet until it sinks completely into the firewall opening.

Nissan Quest Hood Latch

The purpose of the Nissan Quest Hood Latch is to keep the hood of your minivan secured to prevent it from swinging open while driving. Located at the front edge of the hood, the Hood Latch is a mechanism with a cable that connects to a release handle and allows the driver to unlock the hood from the cabin before lifting it. When the hood is closed, the latch locks the panel in place and protects the engine, radiator, battery, and other components found in the Nissan Quest from theft and the elements. A built-in safety lock provides a secondary catch so that the hood does not slam into the windshield in a front-end collision or if the primary catch is jarred loose at highway speeds. The Hood Latch is manufactured to the original specifications. Generally made from high-quality steel with reinforced housing for strength and corrosion resistance, it will provide a secure factory fit and reliable operation in your Nissan Quest engine bay. The Hood Latch also enhances security while parked. The Nissan Quest Hood Latch assembly is a tough, secure, and easy-to-use assembly.
