Hey guys, my car is in the garage for the winter and I just put a trickle charger on it and I'd like to pull the fuse for the frunk light because it drives me crazy to see it on every time I walk past the car. I couldn't find it in the little fold up guide on the plastic panel. I figured I'd ask here before embarking on the process of elimination. 997.1 turbo, thanks.

Just pull the bulb out

In the owners manual it says that it goes out automatically after approx 2 hours. I have observed this myself when doing work on the car and leaving the frunk open..

Awesome, thanks

Goes off even sooner if you arm the alarm system - about 20-30 minutes. With the hood open you'll get a fault beep when arming but no worries about that.

Do what all the techs do. Get your screwdriver and push the locking mechanism into the down and Locked position. The light is keyed off that lock position.
To unlock, just hit the unlock switch like you normally would.

Better yet. Pull the bumper and run the wire to the front right or left corner underneath. That can be your quick disconnect.

The wire for a trickle charger is pretty thin. No problem just closing the frunk on it. Loop it out of the frunk towards the windshield and just make sure the wires are clear of the hinges when you close it. There is a foam rubber gasket all the way around that has no issue conforming to the tiny wire.

Goes out after an hour or so, even on a 996tt
