Fuel Door wont lock.

My fuel door is always unlocked no matter if the car is locked or unlocked. Any solutions?

Well if all your remotes work locking everything else up then more than likely you have a bad fuel door locking actuator that will need replacing.

You are lucky. Your fuel door actuator died unlocked. Guess what, mine died locked. Now my car's almost out of gas and I'm at the gas station and the fuel door just won't open. FML. Mine's a 2012 Max.

Ultimate Solution:
Got a new fuel door actuator; Nissan-Part# 78850CA00A. Costs about $250 new. If you go to the dealership, they will charge you about $350 to $400 to replace it, including labor.

I got one off of ebay, from a totaled 2009 Murano that used the same part. Cost $30. I ripped out the upholstery in trunk to the side of the fuel door and replaced it myself. I broke just one of those plastic screw things that holds the upholstery. That was okay, it's not noticeable and it's inside the trunk, who cares. At least now I could drive the car, because it took gas again. Been a couple of years now, issue has not recurred.
