Fuel Flap 56 plate

Hello,

When I got my car around 18 months ago the central locking was all good and the fuel flap locked as it should.

Then one day it stayed locked when the car was unlocked and as you can imagine thats a bit awkward so I removed the locking mech for the flap and replaced with another unit that still refused to work as normal.

So out that one came and I left it at that.

Is their a fuse thats for the flap I should be looking for as the rest of the central locking system works as it should. 

Any help would be great.

Regards Adam

    On the MK2 the fuse is part of the central locking. So if that is working the fuse is fine.

    If you have tested both flaps and neither worked, then you have a wiring issue, saying that did you press unlock again on the key fob when it wasn't opening? And has that side of the car been damaged? Also make sure all connectors on the fuse box passenger are secure. The ones your looking for are brown in colour one small one big. 

     

    Regards
