If you guys own a Toyota, in this case a CH-R, and your car has a powered gas door which means you push a button and not pull on a lever then this post is for you! If you do have a button that means that there is a motor located by your gas door that will release the latch and allow you to open the door. These motors can fail and when they do your gas door will not open and you will probably find that out when you desperately need gas. Don’t panic because there is a manual way to open this door. Since this is a CH-R the manual lever will be located inside your trunk on the driver side. There will be a cover that you will have to remove and once you remove it you will see a device that has a black lever on it. All you have to do is pull on that lever and your gas door will open. I’ve seen vehicles come in where the customers try to pry it open resulting in bending and damaging all sort of parts and worse, hurting themselves. This information is located in your owners manual and it’s not a bad idea to look it up because honestly every electronic part will fail at some point. I hope this post can help some of you someday! #digitalplanning #lemon8challenge #tipsandtricks #cars #carsoflemon8
