If the module that opens the fuel filler door on the Mercedes A-Class stops working, you need to replace it. Using a small screwdriver, remove the outer part of the door and with the same tool, disconnect the release module located to the right of the fuel cap. Starting from the bottom, pull it out, remove the electrical connector, and take it out. Take the new module, insert the connector, secure it in place, and test its operation.

Reattach the outer part of the door to complete the process.
