Nissan Xterra Hood Cable
The Nissan Xterra Hood Cable makes it easy for drivers to pop the hood from inside the vehicle, thanks to a cable that connects the interior release lever to the twin latch system located under the sheet metal. The driver will have quicker access to the engine for checks or repairs. The Hood Cable runs from the handle to a junction point and then branches to each latch. A simple pull on this cable translates to a strong tug on the locking mechanism so the hood springs free on the first try. Are you aware that Nissan Xterra models have been relying on the same basic steel core for years? They have a protective sheathing over the steel core. The early Xterra models applied a slightly thicker outer coating. Later models applied a lighter and more flexible jacket. The jacket difference only affects the smooth routing of the Hood Cable around tight bends. But the Hood Cable doesn't kink. No electronic alternatives or hydraulic aids were added because the reliable mechanical design is still easy to use and inexpensive to service. Moisture can cause the cover to crack, allow water in, and corrode strands that stretch the Hood Cable and jam the hood. A Hood Cable replacement allows for dependable one-handed releases so that your Nissan is always ready for routine maintenance or roadside checks.

Nissan Xterra Hood Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to replace the hood cable and hood latch on the Nissan Xterra?A:Remove the bolts and detach the latch assembly. Loosen the hood latch bolts, then move the latch as necessary to adjust the hood-closed position. Unhook the spring and pry the cable end from the latch. To disconnect the cable from the hood latch mechanism, disengage the cable housing end from the slot in the latch and twist the cable end out of the latch arm. Installation is the reverse of removal. Adjust the latch so the hood engages securely when closed and the hood Bumpers are slightly compressed. Disconnect the release cable from the hood latch assembly. Unclip the release cable from the engine wiring harness. Attach a length of wire to the cable to assist with the installation of the new cable. Working in the passenger compartment, remove the driver's kick panel or the knee bolster. On some models the hood release handle and cable are a one-piece design and must be replaced as a unit. Hood release handle and cable mounting bolts-one piece design. On other models the hood release cable is a two-piece design. It can be removed from the handle by using pliers to pull the cable housing end from the tab on the handle frame and rotating the cable end from the slot on the handle. If the handle assembly itself must be replaced, detach the cable as described above and simply remove the mounting bolts to remove the handle. Trace the cable forward to the grommet where the cable goes through the firewall and pry the grommet out of the firewall. Pull the handle and cable rearward into the passenger compartment. Disconnect the guide wire from the old cable and fasten it to the new cable. With the new cable attached to the wire, pull the wire back through the firewall until the new cable reaches the latch assembly. Make sure that the grommet is properly seated on both sides of the hole in the firewall. Push on the grommet with your fingers from the passenger compartment side to seat the grommet in the firewall correctly. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal.
