fuel door stuck in unlocked position
#2
If you stand outside the vehicle with your ear next to the flap and have someone push the button to unlock the flap, can you hear any sound?
If the hinge is OK, and it is actually the locking mechanism that is not working correctly, access to the locking mechanism is by pulling back the insulation on the inside. I think you can pull the locking bar open. However, it might then lock and stick in the locked position.
I think the actuator is a small motor which slides the bar in and out with some gears, rather than a solenoid.
Alternatively, you might be able to push the bar back to the unlocked position from the outside, using a screwdriver in the pocket where the loop fits. I think you should try to push the bar toward the rear of vehicle.
