Gas lid won't open

[jworks]

My gas lid won't open. Its really odd, before I had to push it about 2 times to open up but never a problem until recently. Is there a way to fix this? I haven't been driving the car because of this and I'm running low on gas :-/

My s13 had the cable release, but the previous owner did something to it and the cable was disconnected, so he had to bend the tab on the lid. I gotta press the lid at an angle for it to open.

same thing happened to mine...

I also found kicking it helped a little

why not just open the trunk and open it from the back. Just pull the spring thing back. My cousin was doing that for a couple of weeks until he fixed it.

you can access the the gas release from the inside. you have to reach around the trunk trim. Also check if you cable didn't snap. where the cable meets the lever you push on, there's a plastic piece that can break easily. It happened to my car and i ended up buying a new cable from
Genuine Nissan Auto Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com (http://www.courtesyparts.com/)

just remove your plastic door sill and move the carpet to check if it snapped from the lever.

Good luck in fixing your problem
