Ideas?
Remove the silly thing.
Great idea (who wouldn’t love a powered frunk?) but NONE of these add-on kits are reliable. I’ve seen folks who’ve had to spend upwards of $1k to repair the damage they cause.
I‘m not a fan of these things. At all.

There are firmware updates available to download. There may be an update needed for your specific application.
Did you hold down the ecu button on their module until it beeped? I haven't edited my install video yet, evoffer sometimes took a few days to respond but they always did eventually.
I think part of the calibration process activates the latch so it can be closed. You should be able to move the latch manually to open the latch and allow for frunk closure as well
Depending where in NJ you are I might be able to help in person, I'm right across the barry bridge, exit 2 off the turnpike

Hansshow can go suck rocks as far as I’m concerned. Their customer service has been horrific.
Hmmm. Two separate posts asking for details and no response. I'm curious about these problems now...
You can search the forums here for the many threads about it. As I recall, it was several 3’s that had issues needing the bumper cover removed and frunk disassembled to repair the latch.
Enough of a warning for me to stay away.
Sorry for slow response @HP Man, I’m on a family vacation right now.
Here’s a few quick links to get started…. Keep scouring the forum here and you’ll find plenty more. Sorry as I said I’m on a trip and have very slow internet.
Problem with Hansshow Support
SUMMARY: I bought the Hansshow power frunk kit in September of 2019. In August 2020 it stopped working with the frunk closed. I spent 4 months (!) with Hansshow support until I gave up. They did not honor their warranty or replace the parts I returned to them. Tesla charged me $675 to break...

What to do when Power Frunk Completely Fails to Open?
I installed the Hansshow power frunk in early November. I used it dozens of times, working perfectly every time. In mid December I stopped for a few groceries and popped it to get my shopping bags. When I came back 20 minutes later it wouldn't open. I can hear the mechanism trying to release...

Hansshow V5 Power Frunk Issue (2022)
I recently installed the V5 Power Frunk for my 2022 Model Y Performance. I am running into an issue where the control box beeps when I am not trying to use the power Frunk. The box will beep every few seconds and while this is happening, if I try to open the Frunk, it unlatches but doesn’t open...

They were self installs. They put the motor and control unit where moisture got to it.
I knew not to do that when I installed mine.
If Tesla's frunk mechanism stops working, the tech would have to access the frunk the same way they do with the aftermarket system.

I ordered my Tesla Offer frunk for my 22MYP in May of 2022. It worked great for about 6 months and then the cable broke. Yes, the Telegram replies are delayed/slow, you have to stay on them but they do finally reply and take care of you. They sent me a new motor with cable attached and suggested an updated mounting location (front corner on driver's side). 3 months later, the new cable snapped again. I asked Tesla Offer to just send me a replacement cable (several actually) since I am now an expert at fixing this frunk opener and I fully suspect it will happen again (unless that firmware update they emailed to all customers on March 19th corrects this problem). I have now been waiting for the replacement cable(s) for nearly one month. They are making their slow progress through a freight forwarder from Hong Kong...I'm wondering if their motor is pulling too hard or they are using a cable that is not strong enough? This is starting to get old...
This is where EVOffer recommends mounting the latch motor now...There is still a lot of slack in the cable line that attaches to the main latch (it needs to be stuffed/looped in front of the front bumper area. I would think it would be better if this cable was shorter and had a straight shot to the latch. The problem I have had twice now is the cable has snapped about 8 inches from the EV Offer motor. I'm wondering if EV Offer's latest firmware prevents their motor from over-tightening? I got EV Offer to send me a couple of replacement cables (they have already sent a replacement motor with cable attached during the first breakage). The darn cables took over a month to ship from China. EV Offer really needs to stock these parts with their stateside employee Warren in Portland...
