How do I replace the fuel door on a 2003 Buick Regal?

  • Bruce W Sims

    OK...I did some trial-and-error and would like others to benefit from my experience. a.) Open the fuel door and remove the three sheet metal screws that secure the plastic sleeve to the fuel tube. b.) press on the lower inside of the plastic sleeve to seat it at its lowest position in the well, then press on the upper edge of the plastic to unseat the catch in the edge of the plastic. Draw it out. c.) The fuel door is held on place by two nuts. Remove the nuts and remove the old door. Put the new door in place and reverse the order to assemble. BTW: Before you tighten the nuts and reinstall the plastic sleeve, you may want to open and shut the door a couple of times to make sure it lines up with the opening of the body and closes correctly, THEN tighten the bolts and insert the plastic sleeve.

Remove the tire and inner fender well. You will see the nuts/bolt to remove. You also have to remove the screws for the plastic piece inside the door.

2001 Buick Regal. Power door lock swith will not lock doors.

Remove the door panel and unplug the connector to the door actuator. Probe the contacts with a voltmeter set on DC volts. Then operate the lock/unlock switch. You should see the voltage toggle from +12 volts to -12 volts. If you do, then the wiring, switch and connector are good and you have a bad actuator. Be prepared to start replacing all of them because they all operate the same number of cycles.

Need replacement body parts

I think your best result would be contacting an auto scrap yard for this part, as the demand for a fuel door for a '96 is very low, no one carries it new in stock. A good auto salvage yard is networked to others, so they can usually search other yards for your fuel door, and have it shipped to them. Let me know how u make out
