Can't Open Gas Cap or Trunk on S70!!

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray N. on  Thu Jan 23 04:58 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I pulled the interior trim to access the lock. Looked at it and
figured out how it worked.

Removed lock and drilled a small hole in the mechanical arm the
operates it.

Next I used a piece of coat hanger and bent a small loop at one end.
The end was connected to the lock using a cable tie. The cable tie
allows the mechanical mechanisim to move without moving the hanger.

I then punched a hole in the trim for the other end of the coat
hanger to stick out.

I'll try to post pictures at a later time (at work now). I'll
start a new thread if I do this so it is at the top.
