Locking Gas Flap

[komobu]

I just picked up a 2001 SSEi Bonneville. I can open my gas flap by pulling it open, but am wondering if it is supposed to be locking. Does it have a locking gas flap? There is a cable in the trunk to release it manually, but I dont see anything electric or cable in the interior for Gas Release.

Thanks for any feedback

Hi, on my 2000 SSEi, the gas door opens when I unlock the car with remote or door switch-- when car is locked, the gas door is locked.

Thanks...I just looked at it and that is sure enough how it works! I have never seen that type of set up before!

It locks and unlocks electronically with the driver door. Might need some lube.

The locking cap on my SSEi's never worked right. I even got a box of the solenoids from harofreak00, and one of them worked for about a day. Eventually, I gutted one and threw my spare valet key in there as a backup in case I ever locked myself out of the car again (did it once, never again). If I ever see that car again, I intend to see if the key is still there, lol.
