Hi All,

On the weekend I had a broken heater shaft, sucks but I managed to pull everything out and replace the shaft. That was great till 4 days later I went to fill up with petrol and well...petrol cap wont release, nor will the boot so I figured I didnt plug everything back in ! However I have pulled the fuse box out and everything is plugged in, when I push the petrol button, no sound nothing happens, when I push the boot release, a small "click" comes from the bottom of the ICC. I have taken everything out around the dash and all 4 plugs were plugged into the bottom of the ICC, I pulled out the right plug, it stopped making the clicking sound however plug back in, wa-la the sound is back ?

Does anyone have any thoughts as im stumped ? I thought it might be fuse but theres a million under there if anyone knows which one it is ?

Hope someone can help !!!

Cheers !

hey buds might sound a bit stupid but I kinda had a similar problem with my fg f6,however the boot wouldnt open or the petrol cap but figured out that once all doors are unlocked it seemed to open or unlock the cap & boot? pressthe button on the remote twice to unlock everything? might be on a different track though buds..lol

nah its not that, the lights flash when I push the boot button on the keypad but just doesnt open ? so im thinking maybe something isnt plugged in ? but wondering why its clicking from underneath the ICC but nothing happens?

For the fuel filler check your 15a hazard fuse, the bootlid is part of the 20a door lock fuse but if your doors unlock and lock then that fuse should be fine.

I assume you've got a B-series Bassy? If you're desperate to fill it up there's a manual release inside the boot from memory, and obviously to get to that you'll first have to fold down the back seats and pop the manual release on the boot.

I'm guessing EFSIX is talking about an FG, no boot release solenoid at all or filler flap solenoid on the early builds.

Are you sure there is no solenoid ? how does it release the boot and or fuel cap ? I can hear a click sound from the plug on the far right under the ICC, im worry ive broken something !!!

On the money there buds...

yeah b series it is...im stuck...spewing, I saved money to fix the heater to now spend it at an auto electrican !

So fuses all good and the car is unlocked when trying to open the boot or filler cap using the buttons inside the car?

yeah works perfect now !!
