Any info on how to reset the control box unit?
I was attempting to upgrade by FRUNK to v3 (to get screen/open control), but unit seems to have bricked, with both green and red lights staying on solid even after power cycle.
PS: as part of the V3 frunk update, they shipped me a new wire harness and a sd card with the update.bin.
Followed instructions to the T., but still failed.
Thank you soo much, MrTC for the DM on how to reset..
Basically, here are the steps I followed to factory reset it:
1. Removed the power connector
2. Removed the signal connector wire harness
3. Removed the soft close signal connector harness
Idea is to get rid of any and all power source to the control box.
So, at this point only the wire harness going to the two struts were plugged in.
4. Then as suggested by MrTC, i pressed the 'button' on the control box for a good 30+ seconds.
5. Put a micro-sdcard with the update.bin file on it (fat32 formatted)..
6. Plugged in the signal connector wire harness
7. Plugged in the soft close signal connector harness
8. Plugged the power back in.
9. this time, the Red light blinked /should blink rapidly.
10. once the update is done, the RED light became solid.,
11. Removed the power plug
12. removed the micro sd-card
13. plugged the power back in.
Also, i was upgrading my FRUNK lift from v2 to v3, and they had shipped the update on a micro-sdcard.. Seems like the card was a very low quality card unreadable after a few reads. Luckily, i had copied the update file from the card to my laptop. Most likely why it failed in the first place.
Note : hansshow shipped the update on a microsd card (512MB) which was formatted as FAT. their instructions specifically says to use FAT32. not sure if this makes a major impact or not.., but something to check.
After the update, i had to do a calibration of the frunk raising it fully up manually, and re-configuring the speed/hardness settings!
