Safety Warning

Fuel Fill Door Description and Operation
The fuel door latch actuator shares the circuit with the driver door lock assembly. The rear fuse block, upon receipt of a lock switch lock or unlock signal, will switch the appropriate door lock actuator, as well as a fuel filler door release actuator control circuits to battery positive voltage. The opposing side of the door lock and fuel filler door release actuators is connected to ground by the rear fuse block through the other door lock actuator control circuit and the doors, along with the fuel filler door release, will lock or unlock as commanded.
