Tesla Model Y Frunk Refrigerator Installation Guide
Step 1: Power Connection
Take power from the cigarette lighter in the rear tailgate side trim panel to the access panel in the front trunk using the supplied 6-meter power cord. The image shows a Tesla Model Y with a red line illustrating the path of the power cord from the rear of the vehicle, along the side panels, and into the front trunk (frunk).
Step 2: Access Front Trunk Trim
Open the front trunk lid and remove the red trim panel. The illustration shows the front trunk area of a Tesla Model Y with a red-colored panel covering the area behind the main trunk space.
Step 3: Remove Access Panel
Remove the access panel. The image displays the front trunk interior, highlighting an access panel. This panel is secured by fasteners indicated by red circles, and blue arrows suggest the direction for removal.
Step 4: Disconnect Light Wire
Unplug the access panel light wire. The image shows the rear side of the removed access panel, with a red wire connected to a socket. Text on the panel indicates part numbers like '1494086-00-A' and '1494085-00-4'.
Step 5: Remove Securing Screws
Remove the screws located at the red markings. The illustration focuses on the floor of the front trunk, with several points circled in red, indicating where screws need to be removed.
Step 6: Release Buckles and Remove Panel
Open the red-marked buckles and remove the front trunk panel. The image highlights specific points on the inner edge of the front trunk area, marked in red, which are identified as buckles that need to be released.
Step 7: Route Power Cord
Route the 6-meter power cord from the rear tailgate cigarette lighter (do not connect power yet) through the indicated hole to the front trunk and secure it. The diagram shows the wire path. Detail 'Picture 1' illustrates cutting a rubber grommet approximately 50% to allow passage. 'Picture 2' shows the connecting wire emerging from the hole.
Step 8: Reassemble Front Trunk
Reassemble the front trunk. This step involves replacing components, likely using the screws previously removed, as indicated by red circles on the trunk floor.
Step 9: Connect Wiring and Pipe
Connect the original access panel light wires, the standard power cord's positive (+) and negative (-) poles, and the ventilation pipe to their respective sockets on the new ventilation and cooling panel. The image shows these connections being made.
Step 10: Install Venting Panel
Replace the original access panel with the new venting and cooling panel, ensuring the power cord is connected, and install it securely in place. The image shows the new panel being fitted into the front trunk opening.
Step 11: Connect Refrigerator Power
Connect the refrigerator's power cord to the power outlet on the newly installed ventilation and cooling panel. The image shows the power cord being plugged into the panel.
Step 12: Final Placement and Completion
Smoothly place the refrigerator into the front trunk. The installation is now complete. The images show the refrigerator being positioned in the trunk, followed by a view of the completed installation.
