Front Truck / Boot won't open...when it is hot

[jakekit]

I'm trying to remember if I had instructions or if I just kinda did it. The short is this...

Open the frunk
Remove the four plastic half-turn screws around the front latch
Remove the plastic liner
Remove some of the frunk linning so you can get to the latch mechaism bolts to remove it
Take out the old solenoid part, it just kind of "pops" out of there.
insert new one and reassemble

There really isn't a whole lot of tricky business involved.

It looks like I'm having a similar problem. I just ordered a new solenoid/actuator (996 511 127 00) from Pelican.

Right now it's hit and miss that the solenoid will activate when I press the remote/button. My issue is what if the solenoid completely fails before the part arrives and I can't open the lid anymore.

The schematics here show an emergency release

Where do I find it ... my guess is somewhere outside the car.

Thanks in advance.
