Captur Fuel Flap Issue

Yeah, the release button is totally dead. Fuse box, you say? Which fuse would that be, specifically? I can't seem to find any information about a dedicated fuel flap fuse in the manual. Is it perhaps sharing a circuit with something else?

Okay, mine was a while ago now, so I am hazy on the specifics, and I am not too versed in technical details. I just remember the symptoms were similar. Given that the button is dead, and you're getting errors and other functions are down, it points to something more than just a fuse though. I would say it is time to visit a workshop. Sounds like it could be more complex, and perhaps covered under warranty if you still have it.

Appreciate the input. I had it checked out. Turns out the fuel flap release mechanism was indeed faulty. Cost me 210€ to get it sorted. At least it's done. Thanks for the advice about seeking professional help!

Interesting. I have a Renault Captur too. I vaguely remember encountering something similar. Was the release button completely unresponsive? Have you checked the fuse box? It might be something simple before you start tearing things apart.
