did the actual cable snap? or is the door not opening all the time. when i first got the car i was having troubles with the fuel door. to fix it i just bent back the metal latch a tiny bit so that it would release. been good ever since. but if the cable snapped then....

I don't know. Nothing is happening when i pull the lever and I didn't have time to deal with it this morning.
I don't know that its snapped, its probably stretched. How do you get into it from the back?

I pulled the trunk liner saturday morning. I still don't know why it stopped working. If this ever happens to you, reach behind the trunk liner, feel your way to a cylinder with a tab on either side and twist it half a turn counter clockwise and pull. The door will release and you can see what is going on.

fuel door
My fuel door "sticks" regularly-- I find that if i push the button it tries to open, but the door doesn't pop out; if i get a credit card and wedge it in the door it will pop out-- pretty ghetto to be standing there at the gas station trying to pry it open but that works for me...
