There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Frunk release
I'm guessing you have a solenoid powered release mechanism .... however if you can't get it open using the normal key method something may become dis-connected .............. Mike :thumbup:

Test the system
There is a micro switch near the top of the frunk on the right side that may be out of adjustment. Test it by doing the following:
1. Open the frunk by using the key.
2. Locate the micro switch and hold it down.
3. Turn the key on.
4. Press the frunk release button on the dash.
You should hear the solenoid activate and the latch move. If this is the case, then all you should need to do is bend the micro switch lever up slightly. When the frunk lid closes, it will active the micro switch and allow the system to function.

Not only are the micro switches a bit precious about their location being exactly correct, but also the switches up on the dash are renowned for failing or losing their ability to operate 'reliably' as well!! All the info above might help if the micro switch us the issue, but if it's the switch itself not passing suitable current 99 times out of 100 (which is what mine and a heap of others here in Aus do!) then you either replace the switch, find an alternative replacement, or live with it as is!! :shocked:

Once you have the Frunk opened up manually: take a look at the micro-switch and the tiny little arm that sticks out from it.
(At the top of the opening, and on the right-hand side...)
If that arm has been bent out of alignment (and they do!!); it'll prevent things from working.
Just make sure that it sticks out nice and straight from the switch.
Good luck! :thumbup:
