I'm wanting to convert my frunk release to a manual lever, has anyone done this?
I'm thinking some type of bike brake cable and a lever, I replaced my frunk release mechanism, it worked twice no does not release the hood, I hear the mechanism pulling when I push the button but the stays firmly locked.
The emergency release cable came off when I pulled on it.
So right now I have no idea how to even get into it.

Gave a passing thought to race car type hood pins and bypassing the latch altogether!
