Opening Fuel Filler Flap

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa C - Years 2000-2006
Part: Fuel cap

The opening and closing of the lock for the fuel filler flap is managed through the central locking system of the vehicle, and there is no release button inside the cabin. Once you have locked the vehicle with the key or remote, all locks will be secured, including the fuel filler flap, which cannot be opened. However, opening the flap is contingent upon unlocking all the locks; with a single press, only the driver's door lock opens while all others remain locked: you need to press again to unlock all locks, including that of the fuel filler flap.

Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
