Thread: Gas Lid only opens sometimes

    Gas Lid only opens sometimes

    I can't figure out what intermittently prevents the gas lid from opening.

    Cable seems tight
    Catch seems to open all the way (when the lid is already up and I can see)
    It's all well greased.
    Knob is screwed in all the way onto the cable release.

    I keep some plastic line in the glove box, but I'd like to get this working consistently.

    Any ideas how to trouble shoot?

    I assume the hinge to lid spring is not broken, i.e. when it does open for you does it 'spring' open?

    Yes, the spring seems fine

    How's the plastic tube between the body and fender for the release wire ?

    It seems fine - is there a way to check the plastic tube?


    In general, the pull seems to feel fine - it just doesn't open the lid sometimes...
