Is Forscan not an option to solve this?

While the beep is annoying, there is a second big part of Ford's annoying antics with the Frunk - Why in the world do they shut down the truck when opening the Frunk?

If you remote start the truck and then open the frunk before getting in - the AC/truck shuts down. WTH? There is nothing about the two that are related.

If they think it is something about the huge fan running loudly for the AC heat exchanger that isn't even accessible from under the frunk, that is under the heat exchangers.

WTH Ford.

The front hatch control module is in there if you want to mess with unlatch timing reset. Don’t see anything about motor speed or noise. My guess is the beeper is part of a circuit that will register as a circuit short to battery or open and disable the electric open close system and throw a dtc.

I only had 15 minutes to look, but I have narrowed it down to this area (front passenger side). It is so much loader when the frunk is removed, so it has to be under the frunk enclosure. Pro tip for hunting it down...the escape button will cause the beeping to start, so you don't have to worry about the frunk closing on your head.

Great progress. Keep digging!

No one has access to the parts/repair manual?

I think the problem with all of the beeps on the truck is they are too loud, not that they exist. I absolutely hate locking the truck, because the noise that comes out of it can wake up everyone in my neighborhood. The frunk is similar, why is it so loud? If Ford could cut the volume in half on all these beeps, it would be much appreciated.

No noises here when locking unless I press the button twice. I do look back for the mirror fold though.

I used to lock by hitting the button on the door and it was done, but I read locking like that doesn't set the intrusion / motion alarm. Activated only from the remote or PAAK if I recall right.

Interesting, I always lock on the door. I wish it had lock on walk away like the Mach-e!
