These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2002 Carerra. Hello, I've tried searching for another person with this issue, but can't seem to narrow it down. Bought 996, frunk light was working for the last month. Today, (or at least noticing it today) it does not come on. Strangely enough, it does come on when the glovebox is open! Before tearing my girl apart, it seems that it might be a microswitch issue, but not positive. Also, not sure if the problem is with the glovebox or the front latch. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

POST 2Original post

I just checked the wiring diagram. Oddly enough the frunk, glove box, and engine compartment light are all controled by the alarm module on the same wire. Meaning if one is activated, they all are activated. So since the frunk light comes on when the glove box is open it is assumed the wiring is intact and good to the all 3 lights. I would also assume the micro switch to the glove box is good but the one for the frunk may not be. That is where i would start.

Thank you, I think I may have shut the hatch a little too roughly a time or two, so that does make sense. Thanks mbren1979 for your help and insight. I'll report back with what I find if it is of use to others.
