Default Frunk out for drag strip - car thinks hood is open now? 2025 2lt

Do I just drive in spite of the constant messages? The car says stop and close hood. Will it let me launch it like this or is there a fix?.?

thanks

The wiring loom needs to be separated from the bin and plugged back into the car. I also plug the light and charger panel (for lack of better term) back in and zip tie it securely under the hood somewhere. It disables the remote start and the automatic door lock feature but you won't get the "close hood" message.
