GLC fuel filler flap malfunction

My 2022 Mercedes GLC with a Gasoline engine has a fuel filler flap issue The release isn't working and diagnostics show an error Locking and unlocking are impossible and it seems to be affecting other functions I suspect the linkage but has anyone seen this electrical fault I've tried the key fob with no luck The electric actuator doesn't respond

Whoa sounds familiar I had something very similar happen on my GLC Fuel filler door wouldn't budge First thing did you check the fuse box There's a fuse specifically for the fuel filler It might be a simple fix before diving into the electric actuator or release mechanism Also try pressing the fuel door while using the key fob release Sometimes it just gets stuck

Thank you for your suggestion Regarding the fuse could you provide the specific fuse number and location within the fuse box I have consulted the vehicle's manual but the information is not explicitly detailed Also when you experienced this issue did it also affect other electrical systems in your vehicle

I don't recall the exact fuse number offhand sorry but the diagram should be inside the fuse box cover And yes it did throw some other weird errors like the parking sensor acting up intermittently Honestly after fiddling with it I just took it to the shop They said it was a faulty electric actuator Cost me around 200€ to fix parts and labor

I appreciate you sharing your experience Based on your input and the error codes I am seeing it does indeed point towards a defective electric actuator or linkage I will schedule an appointment with a qualified technician for further diagnosis and repair I expect the repair cost to be around 210€ Thank you again for your help
