Fuel lid soleniod

[old phart]

The little nub that holds the fuel cover down retracted but then didn't reappear last night. I'm guessing it's just gunked up (technical term). Looks like I just have to remove the boot liner to get at it. Any advice from someone that's been there?

So pulled a bit of the liner out. Saw the mechanism and just cycled it a few times and it seems to be back to normal. Was stuck on the down cycle. Squirted a bit of lube in the top end.
Took out these two bolts


Removed the boot seal so the liner could be pulled back.



Mechanism attached to the side of the fender with the cable going up to the latch. Pulled on the white handle a few times and cycled it with the release button too.
