I assume it was exercising the mechanism a couple dozen times testing fuses that cleaned up whatever contact was not quite closing.
Leading evidence: 'Test fuses' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Test fuses' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I noticed this sound today, a very light clicking sound every couple/few seconds from the front of the car when it�s off. It sounds like a mouse gnawing on something (confirmed no mouse
It�s been parked for a day (I washed it yesterday).
I believe it�s related to the frunk latch as it stops
when the frunk is open. No difference locked/armed or unlocked. Other than that, the frunk operation works fine. Any ideas?
Thanks for the tip. If it doesn�t go away on its own, I�ll start pulling fuses to isolate it. Btw, while I was in there I relocated the frunk emergency release so it can be accessed without jacking it up (and where�s the jack?) and removing the fender liner. In the 996tt �what did you do today� topic.
I think he was being facetious as in: it's hard to jack the car up to remove the fender liner to access the e-cable when the jack is in said locked frunk...
Do you have a five pack CD changer in the frunk? If you do it might be that. When I replaced the missing cartridge insert in mine it cycled through all five slots looking for a CD, which made a clicking noise, then stopped. Your's might be acting up...if you have a CD changer.
No cd changer, and still clicking away. I noticed recently my battery tender never goes �green� ie fully charged. This must be driving some battery drain.
I did exactly that, and was never able to find the fuse for the frunk actuator! D7 works the back latch, but not the front. However, in so doing, the problem seems to have cured itself. I assume it was exercising the mechanism a couple dozen times testing fuses that cleaned up whatever contact was not quite closing.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
