I have a 88 Cutlass Supreme SL and I just noticed that the good release cable was rather stiff and just recently stopped moving the full way. So I took out the battery and looked at the cable, and it's outer rubber shielding is gone and is only attached via two or three strands of the cable. I'm thinking the battery ate the thing away as I also found a severed vaccum tube behind the battery with obvious corrosive damage. My question is does anyone know where I could get a replacement cable for the hood release. I've check my usual place rockauto and most of the local part stores.

EDIT: I found a few parts under Hood Release Cable on gmpartsdirect.com but thier catalog isn't exactly clear what's going on, hopefull I've ordered the part I need.

Email customer service at GM Parts Direct, they'll make sure you purchase the correct part. And if they don't have it, they give phone numbers to dealers that list they do.

Make sure while you've got it all apart that you inspect and clean any other corrosive looking crap from around your battery box. It can literally eat the car apart if you dont take care of it. Inspect the battery for leakage also...
