morning, I’m having -what I think is an electrical dry joint problem with the petrol release cap and the interior sensor button both intermittently not working (and also the drivers door not triggering the courtesy light).
I think the fuel release works with an open door, seeing as your door doesn't trigger the interior lights, then it may be the door microswitch? Search for that one maybe? Best of luck
I'll have a go. I think the swith is connected to the door lock mechanism - rather than old style push putton on the a-frame. Might try spraying some switch cleaner around the lock.
Classic dry joint symptom. If you have a soldering iron you just need to reflow the solder on the printed circuit board that feeds the micro switch. Getting the thing out of the door is the issue.
Door open microswitch rarely suffers from dry joints. More likely covered in grease / dirt, the sealing cap broken on the switch or the operating cam flaking paint.
Try a good flushing with WD40 down the area the lock pawl moves in the door.

My experience tells me otherwise. We’ve done a few of these now and never seen grease in them. The plastic finger can also wear down which can be fixed.
