Default Low Voltage Mystery

Hey guys, I lost the power to both the auto fuel door and trunk lid release (buttons), but the power Tonneau lid works fine. I checked the owners manual to see if they shared a common fuse and it doesn't appear so. Curious thing is I also have a remote start system and there is an auto trunk release button on the key fob. Pressed that and the trunk opened fine so I'm guessing the solenoid is ok. Any ideas from the low voltage wizards out there?

The fuse for both the fuel door and hatch/trunk release is F/TNKDR MiniFuse® #32 in the passenger footwell.

The top release signal comes directly from the BCM, but I can't find the circuit that shows which fuse

Try I/P fuse 32, I'd bet that's it

Thanks Mark. Just for my education, what is the difference between the fuses in the passenger footwell and the fusebox under the hood next to the battery?

Mark is correct. I accidentally popped that fuse when I did the insulation mod last summer and discovered it when I tried opening the fuel filler door. Was stumped until I went through the footwell fuse panel fuses until I found that one blown.

Just found this. Very helpful, although it does show Fuel Tank Door and Hatch/Truck Release have different locations in the fuse box (32 vs. 26).

Problem solved. It was indeed both the 26 & 32 position fuses. Mark & Ed, many thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
