How does the emergency pull cord work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The emergency pull cord is designed to manually release only the Hansshow aftermarket lock. Your Tesla\u2019s frunk has two locks after installation:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li>The original factory lock<\/li>\n<li>The Hansshow Power Frunk lock<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>When you use the Tesla app or the in-car screen to open the frunk, both locks are released electronically.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you pull the emergency release cord, it will only disengage the Hansshow lock. The factory lock remains engaged, which means the frunk will not open unless both locks are released.<\/p>\n<p>In short:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Emergency pull = releases Hansshow lock only<\/li>\n<li>App or screen = releases both locks together<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b><br \/>\n2.\u00a0 How to open the power frunk if the 12v battery is dead?<br \/>\n<\/b><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Both the factory and Hansshow frunk locks draw power from the vehicle&#8217;s 12V battery. If the battery is dead, the frunk cannot be opened electrically. Follow these steps to access the frunk:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"tight\" dir=\"ltr\" data-tight=\"true\">\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Power the Frunk Latch<\/strong>: Connect a 9V battery to the tow hook compartment terminals to release the frunk latches. For some vehicle models, a 12V jump starter may provide a more reliable power source.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Open the Frunk<\/strong>: Once the latches are released, lift the frunk to access the battery compartment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Replace the Battery<\/strong>: Replace the dead 12V battery with a new one to restore normal operation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: Ensure proper polarity when connecting the battery or jump starter to avoid damage to the vehicle&#8217;s electrical system.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hansshow.biz\/3ZVIhPa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>LINK TO BUY, CLICK HERE<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Use my Code Thas &amp; SAVE 22% on all Hansshow products.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hansshow Power Frunk Installation Guide \u2013 Tesla Model Y Detailed Installation Video LINK TO BUY, CLICK HERE Use my Code Thas &amp; SAVE 22% on all Hansshow products. \u00a0Tools Required 10mm socket wrench 13mm wrench 5mm hex key (with mini ratchet recommended) Flathead screwdriver (for prying) Pick tool (for detaching original struts) Zip ties (10\u201315 &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33266,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1366,1373],"tags":[1403,1339],"class_list":["post-33262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-product-review","category-tesla","tag-product-review","tag-tesla"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33262"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33262\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33271,"href":"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33262\/revisions\/33271"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
