Quealzara Bonnet Release Cable Assembly for Ford Fusion 2013–2018 — Handle, Bracket & Safety Latch

Quealzara’s complete hood release assembly replaces worn or broken factory parts to restore safe, reliable hood opening on Ford Fusion models from 2013 through 2018.

If your Fusion’s hood won’t pop when you pull the interior handle or the release feels loose, this aftermarket kit gives you the handle, cable and mounting bracket needed for a clean, OEM-style repair. Manufactured to match the original fitment and part numbers, the assembly is supplied with a safety latch to keep the hood secure while driving and to meet everyday service needs.

How does this assembly restore hood release function?

The kit replaces the interior pull handle, the cable that runs through the engine bay, and the bracket that anchors the handle. Once installed, the handle smoothly transfers force to the latch, allowing the hood to release like a factory component.

• Includes handle, cable and hood-handle mounting bracket for one complete repair
• Direct-fit replacements based on original part numbers for correct routing
• Safety latch maintains secure closure until intentionally released

Will this fit my Ford Fusion and which part numbers does it replace?

This assembly is engineered for Ford Fusion model years 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. It is made to replace multiple factory reference numbers so you can match it against your existing part number for confidence.

• Compatible with Ford Fusion 2013–2018
• Replaces DS7Z16B626C, DS7Z-99042C74-A, DS7Z-16916-F and related references
• Sold as a single assembly to address common failure points in one service

What should I expect during installation and maintenance?

Installation typically requires basic hand tools and time to route the cable and secure the bracket to the dash/inner fender area. No special calibration is needed; function is verified by testing the hood latch from the interior and under the hood.

• Basic tools required: screwdrivers, pliers and socket set
• Inspect cable routing and grommets for damage, replace if needed
• Test action several times to confirm smooth release and latch engagement

Does the kit include safety features and what’s in the package?

The assembly includes the safety latch mechanism and all visible service parts needed for a standard repair, so you don’t need to source additional components. The latch prevents accidental opening while driving and returns the hood to a secure closed position.

• One hood release handle with pull cable attached
• One hood release cable and mounting bracket for secure installation
• Includes replacement for specified OEM part numbers for a proper fit

Who is this for: Drivers and DIY mechanics who own a Ford Fusion (2013–2018) with a failing or missing hood release handle, frayed cable, or broken mounting bracket. It's also suitable for independent shops and fleet maintenance teams that need a direct-fit, cost-effective replacement to restore safe hood access for routine service and inspections.
