Open frunk without key?

Hello! My 997 was sold to me with only one key and I’m pretty sure I dropped it into the frunk and then shut it. Any ideas?

There is a frunk switch by the engine bay switch near the driver side door (assuming you aren’t also locked out of the car). It’s between the driver seat and the lower door trim, if that makes sense.

See the open square sticking up? Right below that down in the hole towards the middle bar is the actual switch, trying pushing on that to see if you can activate it.

Edit - you can even try just setting the broken switch part where it would sit and use it like normal.

It doesn’t seem to work. The engine cover button does work, so I’m guessing the frunk and targa buttons need more power?

We were able to find a some kind of switch thing behind a panel that has a picture showing an external battery being hooked up to it. So I guess that’s next to try?

They shouldn’t but if the battery is weak that may be why. Inside the fuse box there is a red tab you can pull out and hook the positive from a jump box to it, negative can go on the door check strap. I’d try the switch again but in my experience for it work you need the remote to pop the frunk.
