Chrysler 4814122AC Hood Latch

You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 4814122AC fits your vehicle.

To remove the latch, open the hood and support it with the prop rod, then scribe alignment marks around the hood latch assembly for easier installation later. Remove the nuts to detach the latch assembly from the radiator support and disconnect the release cable by sliding the cable housing from the key-hole slot in the hood latch and separating it from the assembly. For installation, align the hood latch assembly with the previously made marks on the radiator support and tighten the nuts, checking the operation of the hood latch and readjusting as necessary. To remove the cable, disconnect it from the hood latch, detach it from the clips on the radiator support, and remove the left front kick panel inside the vehicle to access the hood release handle bolts. Remove the bolts securing the hood release handle/cable assembly to the cowl panel, then locate and disengage the push-in retainer and cable grommet from the firewall. Attach a piece of heavy string or flexible wire to the engine compartment end of the cable and pull it through the firewall into the vehicle, disconnecting the string or wire from the old cable. For installation, connect the string or wire to the new cable and carefully pull it through the firewall into the engine compartment, completing the remaining steps in reverse order of removal.

They should be lubricated once every 3000 miles or every three months.
