HELP IS URGENTLY needed! The gas cap cover remains locked in my 1995 850 turbo sedan even after everything else is unlocked! 850

posted by  someone claiming to be yct on  Wed Oct 5 05:51 CST 2005 [RELATED]

My 1995 850 turbo sedan (138k miles and 11 years in my hands) has been an excellent car, and very inexpensive to maintain so far (knock wood of course). However, this morning, when I tried to fill it up with gas, the cover of the gas cap remained locked, even after every other part was unlocked with the remote, without the remote, and in any other way I could think of! My car has an alarm system. Everything else works well. Any suggestions?

Can that cover be opened manually in 850 VOLVOs equipped with an alarm system? HELP IS NEEDED ASAP since I have to fill it up with gas SOON so that I can continue driving (while I do not want to break it open of course)! Thank you in advance.

    You can open the cover manually. Open the trunk, and behind the carpet on the passenger side (on the inside of the trunk)should be a small access panel. It is a small opening, but you just stick your finger in there and feel for a small metal ring. Just pull that toward the back of the car and the fuel door should pop open. It has been a while since this happened to me, so I don't remeber exactly what the access panel looks like. But, it is on the inside passenger side.
