Fuel Door button dead.....
Yes, I am aware I can open it from my trunk....thanks for your help!
The question:

Very easy but you need to pull the console to do it. Check the Vette Essentials websitefor the instructions. If its the actuator thats a tad harder.
Did you check the fuse? Fuse 32 15A.

Any chance you had your dash apart recently and forgot to plug it back in? Good luck.

Actually the connection is under the arm rest... there's an L shaped connector since it's mounted on a 90º angle...
