Tested the actuator using a Power Probe, and it pulls with noticeably more force than when it�s activated through the car�s system.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey everyone, I�ve been having an intermittent issue with the frunk on my 2002 996 Turbo. Hoping someone here has seen this before. Issue: When I try to open the frunk using the interior switch or key fob, I can hear the actuator making a noise like it�s engaging, but the latch doesn�t release. This happens occasionally � sometimes it works just fine, other times it won�t open at all. What I�ve done so far: Replaced the frunk actuator with a new unit. Tested the actuator using a Power Probe, and it pulls with noticeably more force than when it�s activated through the car�s system. Given this, it seems like the actuator isn�t getting full power when triggered by the car. Could it be a weak ground, wiring issue, or something in the control module? If so, anyone has the wire diagram? Has anyone dealt with low voltage going to the actuator or had similar symptoms? Appreciate any insight!
