No, depending upon the cable source, there seem to be multiple part numbers, some cover 97 to 03, then another number from 04 to 05, others list a separate 99 to 05, plus another for the Tip equipped cars, and so on. But even the same part number OEM cables seem to have been shortened somewhat, probably in a cost cutting move (copper is getting expensive)............. If we are replacing a factory cable, we pull and measure it, then order by length. If the car is being switched over to an Optima, and the factory cable is too short, again we measure it and then order up one with a couple extra inches of length. Most parts stores stock a ton of cables is various lengths.
