    Fuel Filler flap Jammed

    Help please.

    Had a flat battery this morning on my wifes car. Jump started the car noticed it was low on fuel so went down to fill up and cant get the filler flap door open. Consulted the manual, made sure all of the doors were unlocked, still nothing. Any ideas? Is there an emergency release? Can i reset the computer in case its glitched?

    Most likely 2 things.
    - Fuse blown which is located behind the glove box
    - Cable in the filler door actuator has come out. This can be reached and corrected by opening the cover in the boot that holds the jack and reaching in and finding the cable and manipulating. Hard to describe but relatively easy to fix.

    The cable idea worked. I looked at the fuse panel and cant find which fuse controls the little motor there. Any ideas. Its working for the moment but it would be nice to have it going properly again.

    Glad that worked. You should be able to put the cable back in the actuator without too many problems. Mine did this about 12 months ago and it has been fine since I put it back.
