How do I replace the light bulbs that light up the "fuel door" and "Trunk release" BUTTONS located at the top of the center console?

Sitting in the driver's seat, looking at the center console, at the very top above the radio, there are 5 buttons titled "trip reset", "info reset", "Info", "Fuel door" and "Trunk" There is a light behind each of these buttons that illuminate them so you can see them at night. How do I replace these lights?

2015 Ford Fusion Energi model. The fuel door will not release. How is this fixed?

The dealer will need to replace the actuator latch. If you can get a latch, you can probably do it, but I would check on the location and if you can easily reach it to replace it before you buy a new latch mechanism.

2004 Kia Optima LX gas door and trunk lid will not open using buttons on drivers sdie door?

Most vehicles that have a power release, also have a manual release. Check inside the vehicle, around the location of the outside filler door. You might have a removable panel, that will reveal the fuel door release cable.
