911 996, 997 Front Trunk latch stuck

[@gillytowers8389]

your mystery "electrical" connection which is actually mechanical, that pulls to the right of the car, is to open the hood from the inside, even though nobody fits inside the hood, it is a DOT requirement. The other cable that pulls to the left (driver) fender is the emergency mechanical cable that is supposed to pull from inside the latch. Somehow, someone left it there, not knowing how to install it and route it properly.

Ah, that's it! Yes, I see that glow in the dark handle inside. Forgot about that. Someone commented on another video that in Europe they don't have that handle. DOT it is. Thanks for the info!
