My damn fuel door doesnt pop open like it should. I know this has been covered before but i searched and came up with diddly squat... how do I fix this?? i have to hit the button like 100 times ( no lie) for it to pop even a little, and now i have to have someone with me to open the door when i press the release button.. how do I fix this?? thanks all..

 

Once you get it open, just check and make sure there is nothing obstructing it and that the door is lined up properly.

 

what do i do if the door isnt lined up properly? is there an adjustment?

 

There is a TSB on the fuel door issue...

 

And if that doesnt work, replace the solinoid.

 

Mine was doing the same thing. I had it in for some other service work and I mentioned it to the dealer. They put a little grease on the hinges and it works fine now.

 

I had the same problem a while back. The dealer did the tsb on it. But it happened again. I was able to hear the solenoid operating, so I knew something was physically holding it shut. It turned out to be the stupid gas cap retention plastic cable. I cut it off and have been problem free ever since.
