Not if you cannot open it with the manual pull behind the trim panel. Also, where in SW Michigan. Please complete your My Profile with that info. I'm originally from GR & Holland. | ||

It's not required; but if you'll look, you'll see that 99%+ of the participants here include it in their profile.

Cannot Unlock Gas Door The locking pin is at the top of the door. I have had success using 2 thin screwdrivers. Slide the blade in one side with the flat of the blade laying against the top of the door. Push it firmly against the pin and leverage it up. The pin will move up a tiny bit. Then as you continue to hold it in place position the second screwdriver in the same manner and begin leveraging it up. Obviously once you have the second screwdriver pressed firmly against the pin remove the first screwdriver. Continue doing this till the pin is clear of the door. Then quickly push the door open.
