Fuel Filler Door Lock Actuator (Where Fitted)



FUEL FILLER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR (WHERE FITTED)





The fuel filler door lock actuator extends and retracts a wire reinforced plastic pin to lock and unlock the fuel filler door.The actuator is installed on a bracket located behind the trim in the right rear quarter of the vehicle.

The pin is incorporated onto the end of the cable installed between the actuator and the fuel filler door assembly. In the locked position, the pin engages with a spigot on the door mounting arm.

The CJB changes the direction of drive of the actuator by changing the polarity of the power and ground connections.

In an emergency, the fuel filler door can be unlocked by manually retracting the actuating rod on the actuator. The actuating rod can be reached through the access cover in the rear quarter trim.
