Hello,

Check fuse # 8 (15 amp) in the passenger compartment junction block. This fuse protects the fuel filler door and the trunk lid switch circuits.

If the fuse is okay check for power through the switch. Here is a guide and the fuel door wiring diagram to show you how.

Check out the diagrams (below).

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers

I attached the process on how to replace the actual door. You actually remove the insert and the door and hinge comes with it.

Let us know if you have more questions. Thanks
