John Hanlin Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Filler lid opens fine from inside, but won't close without pulling the emergency strap inside the hatch. Any suggestions? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RX400h Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 I know this is a different model but perhaps the solution with work with your vehicle with the correct part number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hanlin Posted March 24 Author Report Share Posted March 24 Thanks for the reply. I had this problem with my 2004 RX, but the opening spring is fine on my 2007 RX. It is the latching pin staying out and interfering with the closing latch.. Each time I get gas I have to open the hatch and pull the "emergency" opening strap while I push the filler door closed. Good thing the filler door and inside release are on the same side so that I can reach them at the same time. Annoying but fixable if I take the inside panel off. Didn't know if there was an easier solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 The only other thing I could find was someone who had to replace the fuel door actuator motor because it wouldn't pull the pin back all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hanlin Posted March 25 Author Report Share Posted March 25 I have just the opposite problem. Thanks for checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
