Chevrolet Fuel Door Actuator

The actuator controls the exterior door latch; the fuel cap or capless filler system provides the filler seal. A door that opens normally does not establish that the filler seal is in good condition.

Package contents differ. One Volkswagen Jetta actuator is listed with a coupling rod, while a Nissan actuator is described without springs. Match the included pieces to the damaged mechanism.

The connector and terminal arrangement must match the vehicle. A listed Honda Civic door assembly uses three blade terminals; another design may use a different connection or package arrangement.

The exterior cover and the housing or actuator can be separate pieces. In a Kia K5 service procedure, the existing cover is transferred to the replacement housing and actuator assembly; contents vary by product.

Use the release method provided for the vehicle, if equipped. Emergency-release locations and procedures vary, and forcing the door can damage the trim or latch.
