You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 53630-52010 fits your vehicle.

If the cable has broken, determine which end has failed; if the break is inside the car, it may be possible to remove the release lever and operate the remains of the cable to open the hood. If the break is under the hood, it can be opened through the radiator grille aperture or from underneath. Even with the hood shut, the lock may be operable through the grille with minimal damage, though access to the cable will be limited. From underneath, with the car jacked up and supported on axle stands, access to the hood lock operating lever may be improved. The hood cable lever is located on the lower facia panel, to the right of the steering wheel. Pull out the release lever, unclip the cable end fitting from underneath it, release the outer cable from the mounting bracket, and withdraw it under the facia. Under the hood, prise out the outer cable end fitting from its slot in the hood lock, then unhook the inner cable from the lock operating lever. Release the cable from the clips and brackets in the engine compartment, noting its routing. Tie a length of string to the end of the cable at the release lever inside the car, then carefully pull the cable through the bulkhead grommet into the engine compartment. Untie the string from the end of the cable and leave it in position to aid refitting. Refitting is a reversal of removal; tie the string to the release lever end of the cable and use it to pull the cable into position, ensuring that the cable is routed as noted before removal and that the bulkhead grommet is correctly seated.
