Open the trunk and look around the inside where the fuel filler is-there should be a cable attached to the latch that acts as a manual over ride-if there is none, you will need to carefully pry at the latch to pop it open.
Testimonial: "I didn't want you to think I didn't appreciate the input you were giving me. I do very much appreciate the tips you gave. Very helpful"
where is the latch on the door? Top, bottom, right or left side of door. What tool would you suggest to try & pry it open so we don't damage the body of the car?
the latch should be at the 3 o'clock position, but if you use a flashlight and look around the opening, you will see it-a flat tipped screwdriver works best, use a rag so you are prying against the rag and not the side or paint of the car-they do pop open fairly easily.
did you look for a cable inside the trunk???
Yes. Took the carpet out and the tire. The panel on the side where the gas filler is, can't figure out how to get it off. Don't want to ruin any of the inside of the trunk. Will try your suggestion on the door. Will let you know how it goes, and thank you for all your help.
not like I am complaining but my multiple replies and my efforts should have rated better than a 2 thumbs-I am genuinely trying to help out. It is free, after all, and I do know what I am doing. Good luck
btw, that carpet on the side has plastic retainers that hold it in place-removing just one or two will give you access to the area behind the filler door
thanks, hope something I offered helped-I keep one of those magnetic key holders with a door key and attach it to the top of one of my mufflers just for those special occasions ;)
