Hansshow Frunk Malfunction Scenario

[Thumpernator]

I received this version 3 kit yesterday as a present from my kids. I have just one concern with installing this kit. Let me explain.

This kit has an emergency release cable that will only work if the 12 volt battery is dead. So, what if the electronics in the control box has a failure, but it's still getting good voltage from the battery? How would you open the Frunk? Would the original method before the mod work by applying voltage to the two wires at the tow access point?

Is there an alternate way to get to the latch if all else fails, like going in from the plastic trim just behind the front bumper?

I've not ever read of a failure, but we all know that electronics can fail.

I don't see why not since the child safety button still works with the hansshow install right?

I believe the ER cable is a mechanical connection, independent of the electrical. It should always work, assuming you popped out the disc and brought the wires down.

Incorrect.
