HELP - Fuel filler cover won't unlock!!!
« on: 15 September 2010, 19:59:24 »
Stopped for fuel in Nottingham today before my drive home to Sutton Coldfield and couldn't open the fuel filler cover...it hasn't unlocked with the central locking.  >:(

Luckily I had just enough fuel to get home.

Is there a way to manually unlock it? Is there a specific fuse that could have blown or is it likely to be something to do with the lock itself?

OPen the little first aid compartment you will see the locking motor disconnect it you can try and fix it with some lube.

Wiggle the leads to the connector and work it a few times.

The wiring can get knocked when things get chucked in the cubby holes

I did a wiggle of the wires and it worked but only intermittently.

Will get it out tomorrow and give it an 'overhaul'.  :y
