it will pop open a bit just like a traditional hood but it still sticks, almost like the latch mechanism doesn’t fully open up to allow it to open. It will not move at all with any of the buttons

Just to make sure, are you pulling the inside release a second time after releasing the primary latch to release the secondary latch?

I’ll give it another shot and see if I’m missing something but I’ve been pulling it pretty thoroughly

See this link: FRUNK failure issue will not close or open w/ "Frunk Malfunction See Manual" message

UPDATE!!
Hey all. So I got my truck back from the Dealer yesterday, here’s the skinny…
Ford had An engineer came to the dealership with parts to get the Frunk going again. Both struts and the locking assembly were replace as well as a hood realignment. On initial inspection I was told that water intrusion in the components as well as a hood misalignment were the source of the failure. The engineer has taken all the effected parts back to the mothership for analysis and to expect a recall/update once a fix is found. I was also advised to avoid any pressurized water ( pressure washer/drive thru car washes) around the hood area until a fix can be sent out to all vehicles.
Additionally
I was advised that if the frunk gives the “4 beeps of failure” press the frunk closure button, once it starts beeping give gentle pressure on the hood and it should close and latch.
Thank you all again for your input to get me out of my pickle and thank you @fordmotorcompany for quickly handling my issue "

Sorry to see you're also dealing with the frunk problem. Did you get a chance to do the update yet? Hopefully that does the trick. Keep us posted!

My Frunk is broken too. I press the button and it unlatched, but I have to manually open it. Same with closing, I need to push it down manually. The latch still works though. It started intermittent, but now the same thing every time. Going to the Dealer Friday. Hoping they have a fix.

Glad you can get yours to latch/unlatch! Good luck with the repair.

UPDATE: The frunk control module is bad and the dealer ordered a new one. Won't come in until Nov if I am lucky. Crazy thing is that the frunk just started working again...can't explain it, but working perfectly now.
Question: My Lightning says it is current and no updates available. I am missing many features like using phone for key and truck bed scales. Above you insinuate that somehow the customer can initiate an update. Can I initiate an update?

My frunk is failing now. It started this weekend and I have now had many times when I get the "six beeps of failure" (three double beeps actually). Now for the first time I've had it fail to open with the same six beeps and the error on the instrument panel "Frunk System Fault Service Required".

A good reason not to remove the Annoying Beeper. Besides communicating to you that it's ailing, the first thing the dealer would find as a cause would be the missing Annoying Beeper Module.

I am in my 4th trip to the dealer, they seem to be grasping at straws to fix it. They ordered a bunch of parts and said they will let me know when they come in. I am going on months with it broken.
decided to buy the extended warranty…I think I am going to have my share of issues.

Exactly the same behavior on mine. They replaced one of the lift arms and that did not fix it. Now the control module and other arm are on order. The strange thing is that randomly, it will work perfectly, usually if I use the PaaK to open it. I think it is more software than mechanical.
