Published availability and qualifications
Verified for the 2025 F-150 Lightning power frunk; the manual release is an emergency fallback, not the normal opening method.
Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Shift to Park before operating the frunk.
- 02
For normal opening, press the instrument-panel frunk button or open Settings > Controls and select the frunk icon.
- 03
Only if vehicle power is depleted or the power frunk has failed, open the left-front door and the manual-release access door.
- 04
Pull the service-release strap once for the primary latch and a second time for the secondary latch, then lift the frunk.
Important limits
- Do not pull the service strap unless the truck is in Park.
- Use the manual release only for a depleted battery or power-frunk fault.
- Check overhead clearance before power opening.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the power control does not work, reconfirm Park and check for an obstruction.
- ✓If the first strap pull does not release the frunk fully, the required second pull releases the secondary latch.
- ✓If the frunk binds after manual opening, do not force it; arrange service.
