Default Fuel Door HELP!

Well I'm almost on E and my fuel door won't open. I'm guessing the wire got pinched or pulled out somehow when I did my E-brake boot last week? I don't know if I can make it to the shop where the sockets are to get the console apart. Any ideas before the morning, please!

there should be a wire to pull under the carpet up on the side near the gas door. Pull it and the gas door will open. You may have to pull carpet out a bit to find.

good luck

Check in your owner's manual. There is a cable pull in the back hatch area drivers side that will let you open the fuel door without using the electric switch. It is a silver colored wire that has a handle pull (wire loop or black plastic tab). It is either in the little storage compartment or on top of the wheel well. BTW, there is also one for the rear hatch too.
Once you get the console apart you will probably find the connector is not hooked up. It does not take much to pull it off.
