OK so my dude has a problem, when he goes to unlock his CLK, his trunk pops open.


and when he goes to fill gas, he cant unlock his gas cover because the unlocking is funky.




what the hell is going on with his car? looool

come on guys, anyone, if not can a mod move this to the TECH section maybe?



ALi

 

He should be just pressing the button on the remote shortly, is he holding it down for 2-3 seconds?
Perhaps he should try a different remote too.

 

i tried it my self, no go


he has owned the car for over 2 years now, so he def knows how to use the remote key, it JUST started acting up

check to air line going to the gas door. most likely it is not releasing the air that moves the locking spike. our cars locking system is run on air.

 

i have no idea on how to do so, any tip?


same thing for the trunk?


ALi

 

the vacumm pump is located in the trunk, behind the right-hand-side panel (you will need to remove some clips starting from the center, in order to "peel" away the panel.

 

you think thats whats causing the Trunk malfunction?

that would be the main reason for the gas pump door but what about the funky trunk poppin lol

Just so I understand what you're asking -"every time" this guy unlocks his car, the trunk opens. Does it happen with both electronic keys? If not, one key is broken. If so, the vacuum pump or lines are faulty.

On this same car, the fuel filler lid is locked. Like OPAL208 said, I'd check the vacuum pump.

Until the vacuum issue is sorted out, your friend can use the fuel filler manual release knob. If the next question is "Where is the fuel filler manual release knob?" It's behind the right side trunk panel. I've never used it, but according to the owner’s manual, your friend will have to pull the manual release knob while simultaneously opening the fuel filler flap.

I hope that helps.

 

he's such a retard, the Temp here in cleve is so low and he's outside trying to fill gas as we speak.

i keep trying to explain to him how to get to the lever(searched for that a little, thanks MarcusF) but he keeps telling me HE CANT FIND IT lol. ALi
