zuki02 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Hello, all I have an 1987 Conquest and my hood release cable broke. I needed to know how I can open the hood with out the cable, and where I can locate a replacement cable to fix it. Thanks..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to a dealer or email to: mike@mitsupartsdirect.com , he is parts manager at Rockville mitsu on the east coast the part should be $15- $20, if that fails email me I just got one two weeks ago.

az-racing Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I'll ship you a NEW one for $25.00 total. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 You can get one from Mitsu for around 20 bucks. Using a long rod or screwdriver, from underneath the car, you can reach up and push the hood release mechanism and release the hood. You need to push it towards the drivers side. To replace the cable, DO NOT pull the old one out first. On the hood end of the cable, overlap the old and the new cables, tape them securely together. Go to the inside of the car, and pull it through from that end. You may need to wiggle it some when it get to a couple of places on the hood and force it through plugs. It doesn't hurt to have someone helping you with this step, but it can be done alone. Once it is through, untape it and connect both ends of the cable.

Jimmy Oh man, I wish I had read this before I attempted to replace mine...I unfortunately took out the old assembly first, and am now having a real pain of a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanitariumite Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Any tips to put it back when the old one's been pulled out first? One of my dumba** buddies tried to help while I was inside, and he came inside with the old one... I about shot him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
