RX Fuel Flap Issue

My 2015 Lexus RX hybrid fuel flap won't open. Error's stored, can't lock/unlock it, some functions unavailable. Sounds like a bad fuse, but I checked and they seem fine. Suspect defective linkage, any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my RX. Have you checked the electric actuator? Maybe it's jammed like a stuck valve.

Electric actuator, huh? Where's that located? Any way to test it before I start tearing things apart?

Yeah, the actuator. It's likely that. Honestly, I just took mine to the shop. Best bet unless you fancy becoming an apprentice mechanic for the day.

Right you are. Workshop confirmed it: electric actuator, 210€. Cheers for the heads-up!
