Good job Haro. I'm sure this will help out a lot of people who have any questions about this.

If it looks like you have the pin in the first picture, but it doesnt pop out, just spray some lubricant in there and it should free up.

Rats, I see that is an option.

RPO option code is UA6 (Theft-deterrent alarm system (full feature, lights/horn, includes fuel door lock)

Boy, do I feel like an idiot. Just went out and checked. I have the locking fuel door. I always wondered what that loud clicking sound was when I went to unlock the doors. I got to rooting around in the trunk for the manual release but damed if I can find it. (after looking at the manual).

pull the carpet back?

I started to but one of the tenants where i live pulled up next to me and i started talking to her and forgot about it. She was admiring the way my car looked and she got me distracted. I will check that out.

chicks will do that to a guy

I sprayed a bunch of WD40 in there and to no avail, will pop open if i stick a screwdriver in and push and pound on the housing a little. What else can i try?

Try spray silicon. Push it in 50 times with your finger before trying to let it do it itself.

The coil that pushes and pulls the pin come of the little tracks, you have to carefully remove the locking mechanism and you will see what I am talking about.

Good Morning,
I also have this issue, and it will not free up (The pin just sot of quivers when I hit the buttons). Will the mechanism just pop off once I remove the pins? TIA!

Yes it should. You can see in the picture from the back that nothing else holds it in place.

Success, with a few tugs on the emergency release and a rap or two with a small screwdriver it freed up and is working just fine. I suppose the lube had a chance to work while I was pecking at the keyboard. Much thanks, I can cross that item off the list!

Found the manual release this morning. I think jr's3800hid it from me when he was fixing the backing in my trunk last year in Florida.Just kidding Don.Gave it a test pull and it works. Thanks Andrew.

Mines bust-a-cated off, been since I got it. Someone OBVIOUSLY didnt know how to unlock it or someone only had a lil gas left in their tank when they got in their car some morning.

I took it apart, nothing on it works, it is dead and gone, but I haven't had a vehicle that has had it and never had an issue with people stealing my gas out of my tank, either, so i'm not too worried
