Thank you

To all the forum members who encouraged the installation of the revised emergency frunk release cable. I had the same problem when my battery died - wouldn't start, so hit the remote to lock it and jumped into another car to get to work. Came back to put it on the charger next day and WTH - not only does the remote not unlock it, THE KEY WONT EVEN OPEN THE DOOR LOCK! At first I thought it was just frozen shut. (6 degrees F that am) Feels like something is just not engaging.
So I pop the frunk emergency cable & hook up the charger. And with the resumption of power, the door handle suddenly works again!
So maybe there is some necessary electrical function witbout which the mechanicals disengage. Brighter minds will have to adress the why, I just found it odd, and was relieved that it went back to normal function.
