The hood release cable may bind resulting in high handle efforts. This may be caused by the current cable routing and excessive cable length. To correct
this, a new shorter release cable (E6DZ-16916-B) with a relocated grommet and no retainer clip should be installed using the following procedure.
1.
Remove and discard the existing hood release cable assembly (refer to 1986 Taurus/Sable Shop Manual, Section 44-08).
Figure 1
2.
Install the new hood release cable assembly (E6DZ-16916-B) to the vehicle, Figure 1.
