Figo Fuel Flap Issue

I'm having trouble with the fuel flap release on my 2018 Ford Figo diesel (36738 km). It won't lock or unlock, there's an error in the memory, and some other functions are unavailable. Could this be electrical?

Sounds frustrating! Have you checked the key fob battery? Sometimes a weak signal can cause electrical gremlins. Does your Figo have a cable release in the cabin as a backup? If so, does that work? If the key fob is working fine, this is probably a defective lock actuator, or a cable issue, if applicable.

Thanks for the suggestions. I replaced the key fob battery, but the problem is still there. I'm not sure if my Figo has a manual cable release. If it doesn't, what's the next step? Is a faulty lock actuator likely?

If the key fob battery is fresh and there's no manual release, yeah, a faulty lock actuator is the prime suspect. It could also be wiring, of course! Diagnosing that electrical issue without proper tools might be difficult. Have you considered taking it to a workshop? I bet they'd find and fix this quickly.

Thanks for the insights. I took it to a workshop, and they confirmed a defective linkage, as suspected. The repair, including parts and labour, cost 210€.
