PK_3 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Pathetic question but apparently the spring mechanism that allows the gas cap door to pop ajar when the lever is pulled and make it snap shut with a little push is not working. The cable works fine you just need 2 people, one to pull the lever and one to pull the door open. I looked in the door an see what must be a spring mechanism near the hinge. there nothing obviously amiss but I can't figure how it's supposed to work so I wouldn't know. Is this a common problem? simple fix? Ideas?? Thanks PK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenore Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 The good news is there is a little spring piece, and yes it falls onto the ground. My lexus stealership had the part, was like under $5. Once you get the part it is obvious where it goes..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
