97 Corolla gas door problem
Was having gas filled awhile ago but when I pulled the release to open the gas door, it didn't open. Ended up calling AAA and they reached in from inside the trunk (I had tried this but nothing happened) and released it. It was a WICKED COLD NIGHT, thought something just froze up, that would have been too easy.
I drove around awhile with the door open, then some *&^%$ deliberately closed the door after I told him not to, so now I need to know how to get it open.
There is a wire cable in there that seems to be loose, has a little ball thing on the end, like maybe it just dropped out of somewhere. You can tug on it, it does not seem to be broken. (But that doesn't do anything.) But I can't see in there well enough and move my hands around good enough to figure this out. Either to put the cable back where it belongs or see where the other guy unlatched it from inside, ... I need to get gas!
I did spray the whole potato with lots of WD40 hoping (vainly, I knew, because of the cable hanging there) that might magically make it work, but no deal.
I have a major issue with AAA right now and am not going to call them to ask how they did it.
What I need is a PICTURE of what it looks like from inside. I asked the guy that night, how he released it, he said he just pushed on a latch in there. I can't tell what I am feeling in there. Can anyone help me? Even just explain to me where the latch is and what it feels like? Can only get one hand in there and can't even get enough of my head in there to get a real good look at even one side of stuff. I'm talking about after I pulled the carpet away, etc. Ain't much room in there.
