Front Trunk Frunk Bonnet Release not working

[bcrdukes]

Bumping an old thread, but I have a 2001 Boxster S (Canadian model.)

Went for a grocery run, put some groceries in the front trunk, closed it, went home, tried to open the front trunk using the button on the driver side and then the key - no dice.

I can hear the electronic actuator when my neighbour helped me press the button, but it's not enough to release the latch. Battery is good and I've been driving the car almost every other day for over a month, so I know it's not the battery.

Checked fuse D7 and swapped with other fuses - no go. Rear trunk opens no problems. Any leads on how to tackle this one? Thankfully it's just oranges, some bottles of water, avocado, bread, and whatnot. Thanks in advance.
