    Default Can't get to front fuse panel

    Accidentally grounded a gauge wire in the dash when checking with a meter. Thought it wasn't going to be a problem....wrooong!. The fuses under the seat are fine and I'm sure it's the fwd fuses, however I have and electric hood unlatch that wont unlatch because the fuse is blown. I need a little help with a way to get into the Frunk. If unable good bye Maggie Valley. I'm going to try some of the reach and pull tactics of old posts on older models . I have a 2012 RT with electric latches and added the Fog Light upgrade. Just liable to show up at Maggie with a missing trunk lid if I get mad enough.

    Any and all remedies would be great fully received and tried. If I get in, a manual trip is in my near future.

    Just push down on your ignition key and unlock manually.

    Push down on your key, turn counter clockwise. the trunk should open. While you are there, dig out the manual and read up on the Spyder controls and features.

    Thanks all, now I really feel stupid, but I learned something. What a relief, now I don't need a new trunk lid. I was almost at that point. Saved again by SpyderLovers.

    Appreciated the one liners that got me out of my problem, that's all that was needed, short and to the point. Remembered the dealer showing me this because my Rocker switch didn't work when delivered. But today was one of those days. Guess I'll use the C4 for something else. See you all in Maggie Valley, I'll be the one on the Blue Spyder.

    I'll have to be careful and not try and start the wrong spyder

    It's a good thing you didn't lock your key in there!
    After reading some posts on here about doing just that, I made an emergency release for the frunk using aircraft safety wire.

    Or have a user call IT Support asking where the 'Any Key' is on the keyboard... "Just press the button that has no charachter imprinted", 'Oh, that would be the Space bar' "It functions as the 'Any Key' as well!" Gotta love my job sometimes...

    Reminds me of the time I was trying to help a customer get logged into our software. I told him to enter his email address in the Login field.
    <silence>
    So I asked him again.
