I checked the inside of the gas cap door and see nowhere for the pin to go into in order to lock the door anyway.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, my fuel lock won't lock and unlock w/ the doors? I can push it locked behind the fender and hit the unlock button and it pulls it unlocked but it wont trigger it to lock? Anyone had trouble or had to replace this? thanks...

POST 2Original post

I just fixed the same problem on my 996! The fuel lid was not locking. I was able to observe the locking pin extend and retract bit it did not lock. The pin was wobbly in the opening, meaning it was just floating in a large opening from the body. I could see that if something were to direct the pin in the proper direction it would work. I searched Pelican Parts and discovered a guide bushing for $1.50 I simply snapped it in place and the locking pin now locks! A very easy fix indeed.

I have a 99 C2 Cabriolet and checked inside the gas door. I see the plunger which I can pull and push in and out. It is a black plastic pin and makes a whirring sound when I move it. Is this supposed to lock the gas door when i lock the car. If so mine does not move. I pushed it full back and locked the car and it stayed pushed back. I pulled it full out toward the gas cap, locked and unlocked the car again and still in didn't move. I checked the inside of the gas cap door and see nowhere for the pin to go into in order to lock the door anyway. I can still start the car with the gas cap compartment door full opened. After reading your posts, I wonder is mine working or not. I presume not. Please tell me how this system on your car is working. I did hear from somewhere that the car should not start if the petrol compartment is opened. Mine does. Has mine been bypassed by the PO some way I wonder.

POST 4Original post

Yeah, the black pin extends and retracts with the key fob lock. If it doesn't move, then the motor must be broken. Dealer trip?
