    Default Is there a Frunk Open warning light?

    Probably a dumb question.

    My wife’s 2020 RTL displays a warning light when the rear storage compartment is unlatched.

    There does not appear to be a similar warning light for the frunk.

    Is this normal or is something not working correctly on her Spyder?

    I don't get a warning if the frunk is open on my 2018 RTL.

    No warning light needed because the front cover won't blow open and risk losing the contents.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    I know you're joking, but in case you don't know it the Spyder is limited to 10 mph in reverse! Sometimes an unused section of road is great for experimenting!

    Unlike the new Corvette the frunk lid is pretty secure but on her way home from shopping yesterday a panic stop caused the frunk lid to pop up, when some of the contents shifted and put pressure on the unlocked lid.

    At least that is my interpretation of what happened. I think she overloaded the frunk.

    I know this is an old thread but I was getting ready to ask the very same question. 'Good old search' found my answer for me.
