Hood release problem
The housing that the hood release cable runs to that releases the hood latches on my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport has completely frozen. Would a junk yard be the easiest place to find a replacement or can someone recommend a website that sells new ones?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

I would try a little pb blaster or kroil and let it set a while. (if you havent already) let it set a day or so they take pliers or something and see if you can get it loosened up. If not I don't see why a junkyard part won't work. just make sure that one isnt froze up also.
