Success! Not sure if the cable would not pull because the frunk was already open (would not budge) but there is no way I could have gotten to it without removing the headlight.

I opened the frunk via the engine compartment jumped to my running Dodge Ram. ;)

Have you been looking for another 3.6 to toss in it? even though the engine isn't cheap you still won judging from the condition of the car in your photo. It looks great man! I would get another engine and then pull the one in the car apart and get a look at it. Even if it's trash it'd still be great practice and you may be able to pin point the failure point on the engine. I'm curious like that though.

The rear deck lid is also controlled by an electric actuator similar to the frunk, and so, did you use the fuse box jumper to open the rear deck lid and then jump off the car?

I found the cable under the tail light the previous day (didn't know about powering the system from the rear at the time)
