I was waxing my (20 days old) G today and decided to try to get in the gas cap area, but to no avail. The frigg*n fuel door would not open. I just saw a thread a few days ago about jammed fuel door. This can't be happening, I think I'll log off now wait 1HR and try it again. It has gotta be a dream

 

Make sure your doors arent locked and try again.

 

I read the book when I bought my car. I also just did a search and found the thread with Jammed Fuel Door. Did everything lock/unlock wise, even saw a picture of the stupid actuator and disconnected it and reconect it and the door is still locked. I guess the upside to this is that I have 1/2 tank left and I drive less than one mile to work ( military folks), besides that I'm really pissed off. You know sometimes technology really sucks. Whatever happened to the simple cable style pull the lever and door opens

 

You should be able to disconnect the actuator, rendering it unlocked, and be able to open the fuel door, until you can make it in for service.

Make sure ALL your doors are unlocked. It will not open unless all doors are unlocked.

 

BTW that's not correct, it will open once the drivers door is open. But thanX

 

Not true, on the 2003.5 loaner I had, ALL of the doors had to be unlocked. Shocked the s..t out of me.

 

This thread (perhaps different than the one you saw) https://g35driver.com/forums/faq-diy/46325-gas-door-got-jammed.html suggests that you can move the lever to manually unlock it, in addition to being able to disconnect it. Then, there is the sledge hammer. Let us know what happens.
