  Q: How to replace the Hood Cable on Chevrolet S10?

  A:

  Start the replacement of Hood Cable by first opening and supporting the hood and secondly disconnecting the negative Battery Cable. The underhood fuse block must be removed first by unplugging the windshield wiper Washer Reservoir before you remove the securing screws. Following this you can pull the unit from the fender. The Hood Latch must remain blocked to avoid locking mechanisms until you install the new cable. A flat-bladed tool will free the clip on the primary latch assembly to allow you to uninstall the cable assembly from the primary latch. The installation process requires home mechanics to authorize wire usage as a cable extension. A flat-bladed tool should be used to open the hoodie retention clips. The Hood Cable must be pulled backwards through an opening between the radiator support and left fender along with behind the antilock brake module. The body hinge trim panel and Hood Cable grommet require removal along with the adhesive tape that supports the cable near the cowl. Take out the Hood Cable from the vehicle while guiding the cable through the cowl panel beneath the instrument panel from inside. Start by installing the Hood Latch assembly through the cowl as you direct the cable from inside the vehicle followed by these points: left fender beyond the antilock brake module, underhood fuse block, and windshield wiper/washer reservoir before wrapping it around the radiator support end. Wait to install the cowl side panel Hood Cable and lever bolts until their torque stays at 9 n.m (80 lb in). After that, apply adhesive tape to keep the cable in place on the cowl side. After mounting the Hood Cable within the retaining clips and grommet you should connect it to the Hood Latch cable before the latch itself. Install the body hinge pillar trim panel followed by screws that secure the underhood fuse block and return the windshield wiper/washer reservoir. Last step involves connecting the negative cable while inspecting the Hood Cable for correct operation then closing the hood.
