Kadjar Fuel Filler Flap Issue

Hey, my 2020 Renault Kadjar (gasoline engine) has a weird issue. The fuel filler flap won't open. Error memory shows a fault, and neither the central locking nor the key fob releases it. It's also affecting other functions. Anyone seen this before? It's driving me nuts! It's got 187375 kilometers on the clock.

Summary of the thread

A 2020 Renault Kadjar owner is experiencing an issue where the fuel filler flap won't open, and the problem is affecting other functions. The error memory indicates a fault, and neither the central locking nor the key fob can release the flap. A similar issue in another vehicle was caused by a faulty electric actuator. It is suggested to have a workshop diagnose and repair the problem, as accessing the actuator might be complex and could require professional tools and expertise.

Sounds like a pain! I had a similar issue with my 2018 Opel Insignia. The fuel filler door wouldn't open, and it turned out to be a faulty electric actuator. An actuator is a component responsible for moving or controlling a mechanism. Have you checked if you can hear the actuator trying to work when you press the fuel door or use the key fob?

Thanks! I'm not sure how to check the actuator. Is it easy to access, or do I need special tools? Also, where's the fuel door actuator located?

On my Insignia, it was tricky to get to, requiring panel removal in the trunk area, near the fuel filler neck. Since you're saying other functions are affected, and given the potential complexity, taking it to a workshop might be best. They can properly diagnose the electrical fault and replace the actuator if needed.

Appreciate the advice. Sounds like I could make things worse if I try myself. I'll book an appointment with a trusted workshop to get it diagnosed and repaired. Thanks so much!
