Hi,

Does anyone know how to install hood release cable on 98 honda
passport? it should be similar to any other honda passport model or
isuzu rodeo. I looked on full sevice manual book at Honda dealer and
it doesn't mention how to install hood release cable. I am looking
for any kind of hint, picture and more that may help me to install
cable on my car.

thank you,
Dave

One tip is to securely tape one end of the new cable to the old one,
and use the old cable to 'pull' the new cable through the firewall,
fender looms, etc.

First you will have to unclip the old cable from the hood latch
(remove the 10mm head bolts from the latch first, then lift up on the
latch to gain easy access), then remove the driver's side lower 'knee
board' under the steering wheel and disconnect the cable from the
release (at least I think that's where the inside release is
mounted). Then visually follow the cable as far as you can see it
both under the dash and under the hood and pull it out of any clips,
tape, looms, guides, and whatever else is holding it down, but leave
the cable in basically it's installed position. Now do the part I
mentioned in the first sentence and snake the new cable from one end
to the other. Wrap some tape around the actual tip of the new steel
cable also so that it doesn't get damaged on anything during this
operation.
