How do you replace the Hood Cable in a 1998 Mercury Sable?

To replace the hood cable in a 1998 Mercury Sable, start by opening the hood and disconnecting the battery for safety. Remove the inner fender liner or any necessary panels to access the cable's routing. Detach the old cable from the latch mechanism and pull it out through the firewall. Install the new cable by threading it through the same path, securing it to the latch mechanism, and reassembling any panels or components you removed.
