I bought a pack of 100 of those green plastic clips. If anyone is in or near Denver and needs some just let me know. They are looking for a good home!

- frunk power liftgate sensor trunk
I'm hoping someone can provide a quick answer as I'm in the middle of the install and a little lost as to what to do with the switch plug given I don't have an in-cabin switch. Is this not to be used?
In some of the videos it appears a purple wire from the main wiring harness gets tapped into this but I don't have a purple wire in my harness (just blue yellow red). The only purple wire I see is in the original switch that I plugged into the y-adapter.

So the white wire doesnt tap into anything? I'm literally just daisy chaining?
Are any posi-taps required to do the installation? If yes, do they come with the Hansshow group buy kits or do I need to buy some? If I need to buy some, how many are needed, for what size wire and is there a link to a good place to buy them.
Trying to get everything I need before the kit gets delivered. I bought the trunk (liftgate) kit with the optional kick foot sensor, plus the frunk kit.
Thanks.

Yup, it's confusing as MANY of the videos are installing a different kit. Well, the exact same hardware (it all comes from Hansshow) but other companies repackage it and sell it themselves. Those other kits often times had different instructions, or ways to tap into the power.
The one we all got in this group buy does not need you to use any taps.

i believe the white wire is soldered to one of the other wires under the fabric tape, then it goes down the tube into one of the connectors, but i don't think it matters. that white wire should be soldered on the trunk lid side.
Are you sure?
The kick foot sensor has 3 wires. One goes to a ground nut. The second goes to a 12 volt power source such as the battery terminal. The third wire (a green wire according to a confusing instruction sheet I saw) gets connected to somewhere I’m not clear about. This green wire has no connector on it. It has to be connected some how. Either a posi-tap or by soldering? And to where is it connected.
Here is the info for installing the foot sensor. You will have to either posi-tap or solder the three wires.

You are right there are white wires cut in the updated kit. I think I’ll just posi lock them.
Thank you. So it looks like at least 3 posi-taps are needed. Anyone have a source for the correct size position-tap?

i would be careful with that white wire. it's supposed to be cut on the connector side that goes into the computer/board, and the white wire, not sure if it is related to the cut one, should be already soldered from manufacturer, to one of the wires in the trunk lid. i can't remember which one.
i used these, but they were red. 18-22 guage. from pep boys. worked perfectly. a little bulky but did the trick.
I had the same issue. Had a Hansshaw installer trying to install the frunk kit yesterday. They had two major issues. First issue was the latching of the frunk. After they got that addressed, then when they put everything back together, when the frunk closed, it sort of “taco’d” in the middle of the frunk. The middle was higher than the front and back of the body and it wasn’t flush. They removed the frunk kit, returned it to stock and frunk is flush again. Glad to hear that I wasn’t the only one with this issue.

So what should I do with the white wire that's dangling on that connector? Leave it hanging?
BTW - I couldn't disconnect the connector behind the bumper for the life of me. I pulled down the grey T-connector and couldn't separate the two halves by hand and didn't feel like using pliers to pull them apart. I got slack by pulling out the black stopper that keeps it snug to the bumper.

It should be soldered like this pic i have that shows the wiring harness that goes in the trunk lid, it should not be dangling loose-ended.
