ACDelco 85604254 Hood Primary Latch Release Cable Jet Black

The ACDelco 85604254 is a Jet Black Hood Primary Latch Release Cable — a genuine GM OE replacement part engineered to restore proper hood release function on compatible GM vehicles. This cable assembly connects the interior hood release lever to the primary latch mechanism at the front of the vehicle, allowing the driver to unlatch the hood from inside the cabin.

How It Works:

The hood release cable runs from the interior pull handle, through the firewall and along the vehicle's body, to the primary hood latch. When the interior handle is pulled, the cable transfers the force to the latch mechanism, releasing the hood so the secondary safety catch can be manually disengaged at the hood's leading edge.

Key Features:

• Genuine GM OE Part — designed, engineered, and tested to GM's rigorous OE standards
• Jet Black finish for a clean, factory-correct appearance
• Direct-fit replacement — installs without modification using factory attachment points
• Durable construction — protective plastic sleeve over a flexible steel cable core guards against wear, corrosion, and binding
• Backed by GM's factory warranty — 24-month/unlimited-mile limited warranty (parts only)
• Supersedes earlier GM part numbers including 84406170, 23386215, and 84052801
