What is the Light/Sensor in the Front Storage Area ?

[MarcFTL]

Hello,

At our weekly get together this evening, a few of us 2010 RT-S owners noticed that there is some electrical item in the front left side storage area down about 8 inches or so.

After looking at it, it looks like some type of photocell.


Does anyone know what this is and what it is used for?

Very Much Appreciated

Marc-- I THINK that is a small LED light if I understand what you are describing.

Its your frunk light. Not in the best spot or bright enough to light much !

:agree:Your engine has to be running for it to turn on, though. Not especially useful.

Has anybody figured out a way to have the Frunklight turn on even with the engine off?

I didn't even realize I had a light. The inner liner was not aligned correctly near the light and was covering most of it up. Not very bright even uncovered. Thought about a different light to install. Ended up buying a small battery operated LED flashlight to keep in the front pouch. Now I have a light to use anywhere. :2thumbs: Just need to remember to always put it back.

You are not alone. All of what you described is correct on not bright, exact alignment, etc. Many of us have a small battery powered 'stick up tap light' in the frunk. Cheap and easy.
