SL65 Fuel Door stuck
OK, I'm new to the SL65...can a low consumer battery in the trunk keep your fuel door from unlocking?? or I'm going to check the fuse panel next...Thanks-- Additional Info: Doors unlocked,trunk able to open with manual metal key only,I'm afraid to even try the top switch.Drove today and a couple days ago but stored all hooked up with no charger for weeks.During 1st drive the consumer battery was low (message about certain features temporarily unavailable)but we never tried the gas door or trunk. Now today the message is gone,seat heat will switch on to 2 (didn't use though)alarm works but doors don't lock with smart-key or with central lock button and gas door won't open,trunk only manually.I see my fuse panel does not info about which fuse does what...

My door was sticking shut before dealer realignment. It felt like it was locked, but it wasn't - I just gently pushed the door forward toward the front of the car as I was pushing it in and was able to free it.

Fuel Door,trunk,and locking..same fuse or relay?
OK,Update,my guy who knows the whereabouts of our battery chargers charged the consumer battery up slowly today.I had to use the mechanical key to open the trunk.We noticed the trunk switch on the door was lit up red constantly both before and after battery was re-charged.Upon re-hookup of both batteries per owners manual sequence,same problems of trunk/fuel door locked and car doors unable to lock remained.Unhooked the Neg on the consumer battery to get door trunck switch red light out..gave up for night ...to shop?? Thanks for suggestions...I wish fuse box had a chart etc.
