How to install and remove the hood latch and release cable on Lincoln MKX?

To fit the hood latch, one has to reverse the observed procedure of fitting the grille shutter by making a note of the fact that the active grille shutter has to be removed where the model is 2015 and above. Draw a pencil line around the latch for alignment purpose and then unbolt the retaining bolts that hold the hood latch to the radiator support and pull out the latch. After that, it is necessary to put the pressure on the cable retainer to free it from the latch assembly and to detach the cable end plug. For the release cable, it is up in the engine compartment that is where you have to get rid of the hood latch and also free the hood release cable from the latch. Remove the two release cable clips from the radiator support, undo the left front wheellug nuts, safely jack up the car on jack stands and remove the wheel, also take off the inner fender splash shield. Pull free the two latches on the top of the fender opening to release the cable from its clips and to release the cable clip from the wiring harness though on some models it may be required to remove the Smart Junction Box. Last but not least, it is necessary to remove the two hood release handle mounting bolts, to take out the hood release handle, to disconnect the release cable from the release handle and to pull the cable through the fire wall.
