Honda Civic Fuel Door Won't Close - Solved
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- Couldn't get my Honda Civic fuel door to stay shut, as the pin inside the door that latches the door wouldn't stay out.
Found the problem - needed to go inside the truck and set the wire connected to the pin back in place.
Thanks just spend 20 minutes outside in the snow trying to fix it myself, then found this video after giving up taking apart the gas door. Thank you and im a fool
I’m headed out to my driveway now! 😂 mine just stopped closing yesterday and I found your video today. Edit: just walked out and fixed it just as quick as the video showed! 😁👍👍 thanks a million
Mine just stopped closing yesterday 😂
Luckily this kind individual put this video out! 😁 it could possibly be super simple to fix. Good luck👍
I am gonna try this tommorow i will tell you results,i got to station it didnot open after that i opened it myself but couldnot clos🫠
Thank you! You were thoughtful, direct, and oriented us - appreciate it!
Kyle thank you so much, glad i found your video. i tried to go to Honda dealership to ask how much to fix this problem. They told me $700! Seriously?!.. they said my cable is broken, i have to replace it, they have take off the door & its a big labor to do so... wow what bs dude. Your post was simple and straight forward & you helped me to do it myself! 😁 I see that my problem is that the cable is just having a hard time staying put where it should be, so ill prob need to put some glue to keep the cable from continuously falling backward. Otherwise it works just fine i tested it!
Same here! I took out the gas tank fuel plastic and silicone out as it is cracked and missing a bunch of the plastic clips I have them now but I need to reinstall it for now since my door is stuck open otherwise it gets stuck closed and I’m gonna bend the tab on my gas door and glue the spring loaded plastic tabs around that got bent and cracked with some j b weld or something after reinstalling the silicone cover and all the clips and for the mean while I have a locking gas cap as it’s 2$ a litre for gas here in Canada 😢 I wish it would stay closed and open I know the lever is working as I see the pin move when it’s being pressed so I’m think the tab got bent along the way that’s my best hopeful guess so it won’t be a hard repair
Thanks for posting this, my Civic had the exact same problem as yours. It took some time getting the cable pushed in far enough and in the correct orientation where it would stay but it worked. I noticed when attempting to re-insert the cable into the housing that if it wasn't in the correct position there was some tension on the housing and bolt enough to where it would appear to get stuck again. Once I got the cable secured it seemed to be in proper working condition and I tested it before putting the trunk carpet back in place.
my problem too, cant get it in correct orientation. I have a 2012 ,and the view is blocked, so I cant really see how the latch secures.
That was my exact problem, and so easy to fix - thank you! Much cheaper than the repair estimates. My fuel door works again. The only thing is that I think it might be a bit unstable as some of the plastic around the spring loading area appeared to be falling apart. I might have to get some small part to replace that.
Did you manage to find a place to buy the plastic thingie? Mine also fell apart and the cable did not stay in place.
@@dannho5383 No, unfortunately I couldn't get the small plastic part so I'm going to have to replace it. I bought the whole cable on-line cheaper than i expected though.
@@dannho5383 did u fix the problem ? my plastic holding the cable broke. So i dont know where i can find the part.
@@dannho5383 This is the same thing that’s happening to mine. My plastic clip broke off the cable so it needs to be replaced. Were you able to find the clip, by any chance?
Hey, we’re you able to find the clip, just got one of those cars and that piece is broken
Thanks. I thought a spring was missing or something from someone prying the door open.
OMG I'm so glad I found your video, my rdx fuel door wouldn't close so I did what you said look in the trunk found the trap door and the line pulled it through the hole and (presdo) it's fix. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for posting, I'm having this problem with my Civic. Nice and easy!
Didn't notice until today when I walked out and saw it wasn't closed properly. I pushed it in so many times. I was dumbfounded to see it was still open. 😂
my accord had a loose lever but really gotta check it all for the solution
Subbed and liked, great info and free fix. Had a feeling Honda would make the whole area accessible.
Thank you for your service🫡
Omg thank you so much! Was able to fix my fuel door latch quickly with your video! Kudos!
Thx for posting this Video. Have same vehicle and same problem just wasn't sure where to look for that cable at so make sense goes right into the fuel doors but thank you well done
I have problem with my daughter 2012 civic. Thank you great help
I have this issue on my accord hopefully this works
This just made my day! Thank you!!!!
Thanks
Thank you! This is all i needed lol
🐐 💯
Great video. Successfully done it
Honda CRV 2021 - gas cover will not catch and close. Retracting pin appears to be broken. Serra Honda in Grandville, Mi said they fixed it, but it broke again immediately when I fill my tank. Any suggestions?
Mine pin is stuck inside, what's the problem?
Tq for the posting, really helpful
I solved mine just popping the spring loaded mechanism back into place, it just misaligned and Didn’t had to open the trunk.
Will this work on other cars that aren’t civics? I have a 2014 dodge charger and it won’t close all the way as well
Thank you for this just fixed it
thank you so much !
What if this is happening on an 2012 accord ?
THANK YOU!!!!!
Just did this thanks
thank u
So I tried this method and got the fuel lid to close but the button to open doesn't work. Any thoughts on how to make it open properly?
Same
What did u do
@@brendatellez6129 for me the little black tip of the button fell off so I just put some magnets on the inside of the door and now it opens and closes and sits flush with the car
@@ceezauto213 what do you use to open it with did you put a spring loaded piece so when you close it it can be opened by just pressing on the spring which would allow it to spring the door open
