I left the frunk open for two days when my Lightning was in the garage. Apparently that's a no-no because the frunk forgets what position it is in and when you go to close or open it it just makes 4 sets of 3 beeps (or three sets of four beeps, I forget which). I closed the frunk manually, just pushed it down until it latched and I got an error message on the dash saying: Frunk System Fault, Service Required. So I rooted around on the internet for a while and found a solution posted by ctuan13: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/frunk-completely-dead.13870/page-2#post-290130
Ctuan13 says : I remembered reading something about the emergency trunk release button in the trunk being pushed and then requiring a full manual cycle and push close to reset the system. So I gave it a shot.
I closed the hood as far down as I could while still being able to reach the button from the outside, I pushed the button. The rapid alternating chime could be heard from the cab. I then manually opened the hood all the way and then closed the trunk completely and pushed down firmly to latch it. It still didn't function. But then I pulled the manual release again and cycled it fully open.
And then something crazy happened: when I pushed the button on the hood the trunk began closing. It's been working ever since.
So I opened the trunk up manually, using the fabric frunk release latch down by your drivers side left leg. I followed ctuan13's instructions, pressing the emergency release button inside the frunk on the front passenger side, and pushing the frunk all the way up. Then it works: you can push the buttons on the key fob or the bottom of the trunk or inside the cab and the frunk opens and closes by itself.
Wanted to post this again in case others missed his original post.
