You did remove the lower dash panel?

 

[MarkWales]

no as we started to run out of time is there a guide to this or an image showing how many screws you need to remove and from where?

Hello, i have the same problam with my fuel filler flap release, just taken out the selonoid and pushed the button, you can feel it try to work but doesnt pull back to release the flap, with a little force then it does work but it seems like its too weak to actually release the filler flap, does this mean the selonoid has had it or could it be lack of power?

Also when its plugged in the white thing that moves inside the selonoid is harder to push in then when its unplugged.

HELP lol

I`m going to do mine , what amp fuse is it & where exactly is it located please

 

[ADAM_84]

After posting the above message a while back i oredered up a new selonoid and have just fitted it, pushed the button once and it popped the flap, tried it again and nothing, put the multi-meter on it and if you hold the button down for just about a second the multi-meter shows 12.17v getting to the plug.
Any ideas on why its intermittent?

 

[LEE69]

You do have the keys out of the ignition or just pushed in and not turned?

 

[ADAM_84]

yeah ignition fully off with key in pocket.

 

[LEE69]

Powers getting there obviously, but no idea why it won't work now.

Try locking the car and doing it again? (clutching at straws here)

 

[ADAM_84]

ha ha ha ha cheers mate, i'm clutching at my hair trying to pull it out lol

 

[LEE69]

lol
Could well be a dodgy solenoid as it gets the voltage to work through the loom, strange.

 

[ADAM_84]

yeah could be but it does the same thing as the old one lol

 

[LEE69]

Well it ain't that then lol

 

[LEE69]

It's not relayed i don't think, just fused.
