Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to emergency open the fuel cap of a Mercedes E-Class W124 version: first of all, we need to make sure that all the doors are unlocked, then we open the rear hatch; on the right side, we will have to partially remove the carpet lining of the panel located at the fuel cap, on the outside.

We will find the mechanism that operates the door, and we can unlock it by levering on the point where it operates the opening.

However, it would also be a good idea to check the yellow cable that supplies power to the mechanism itself, testing it with a multimeter: it could be the cause of the malfunction.
