 Messed up frunk/seat lock assembly
After 10 years my lock assembly is broken. Ignition still works, but the lock no longer opens seat or frunk. I have resolved the eat latch issue by routing the existing cable to my glovebox. I did cut the cable about 2 feet from latch. Works good. After this repair I tried to unlock the frunk, no go. Since I have a 2011 RTS, I have the electric switch to unlock frunk. Hopefully some evening this week I will run the cable for the latch out by the oil tank. Bruce

Bruce - doing a separate mechanical cable re-lease is your best least expensive option. And the wisest, having the ignition switch do them is a failure waiting to happen .... I have done dozens as a Vendor. ..... A few folks have posted various pics and vids on how to .... Mike
