I just tried the red pull-out "lead" in the fuse box.... it let go of the key, but no dash lights, window op, or frunk pop. I hooked it up with jumper cables to my SUV.

I had similar issue as well on my C2S. I ended up using a 12V male-male cable from a portable battery pack into the cig lighter just long enough to pop the key and the frunk.

Your old GT3 has a brand new interstate in it - so far no issues ...
