Fuel filler flap not locking

I just noticed today when I lock my car, the fuel filler flap is actually not locked.. I've tried to search it on the "other forum" as I'm sure I've read this issue somewhere, but I couldn't find it, and I don't remember what to do. What should I check/look into?

Thanks guys

RE: Fuel filler flap not locking

Either the actuator or the relay controlling it!.

Thanks for the help!

The blinker blinks 3 times everytime i lock the doors.. I think maybe it's the actuator?

RE: Fuel filler flap not locking

If you had access to another ML you could just try out their relay !.

Check the WIS Stick section! I posted the filler flap actuator replacement!

RE: Fuel filler flap not locking

There is no seperate relay for locking the flap ... so if the doors lock and the flap doesn't ... it's got to be the actuator!.

F1K20 does the locking!

RE: Fuel filler flap not locking

Oh I stand corrected .... F1K20 is the "lock all" and F1K24 is the "front left door + Fuel flap" relay !.
(According to my "location of components" diagram above).

The Flap Actuator itself is M14/10

Re: Fuel filler flap not locking

Make sure the latch mechanism isn’t broken. On my ML, the bolts holding the mechanism to the inside of the fender well came loose. At first, only one bolt came loose and the mechanism was cocked, which actually made it jam and I couldn’t open the fuel door. After messing with it, the other bolt fell out and the whole mechanism dropped into the fender well. Until I had it repaired, my fuel door was not locked.
