Everest Fuel Flap Issue

My 2006 Ford Everest with a gasoline engine has a fuel flap release issue. It's completely stopped working, and I'm getting an error code plus some intermittent function problems. I'm wondering if it's a linkage problem, if this model even has one. Anyone else seen this?

I have a similar Everest and had something like this happen. Were you using the key fob when it started, or did it just happen? Could be the electric actuator.

It happened on its own, wasn't using the key fob at all. Can you tell me more about the electric actuator?

Mine was a bad actuator. I bypassed it for a bit, but you should take it to a good shop. With the error and the other issues, it's worth getting it checked to avoid more problems. They can check the wiring and the actuator itself.

Took your advice and went to a technician. It was the electric actuator, needed replacing. Cost me 210€. Thanks for the help!
