Crazy K Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 slide under front of car reach up where the end of the cable goes push lever actuated by cable ??? profit sadly, in the time it took you to read this I have already opened your hood and swiped your car battery... SUCKER! J/k LOL you should be able to open it with ease from below. I don't know about new cables, but I've reused good j/y cables on several occasions.

Dark Ride Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 You can buy just a cable at rockauto. It's like $11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairdo12 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 15 minute install... meaning it was really easy. Getting the hood open is easier said than done when the cable is broken I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemis Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 15 minute install... meaning it was really easy. Getting the hood open is easier said than done when the cable is broken I think. I've had to replace mine twice, and it took me 15 minutes just to screw that stupid rubber grommet thing into the firewall! So awkward... so painful. But other than that its quite easy and Rockauto is the place to get em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlassman Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 You can always grab a good used one at a bone yard. One tip - tape the end of the replacement to the original as you pull it out, typically from the engine bay to the passenger compartment. And yes, the firewall plug is the hardest part to deal with.
