Honda Civic Fuel Door Won't Close - Solved

Couldn't get my Honda Civic fuel door to stay shut, as the pin inside the door that latches the door wouldn't stay out.
Found the problem - needed to go inside the truck and set the wire connected to the pin back in place.

    Kyle thank you so much, glad i found your video. i tried to go to Honda dealership to ask how much to fix this problem. They told me $700! Seriously?!.. they said my cable is broken, i have to replace it, they have take off the door & its a big labor to do so... wow what bs dude. Your post was simple and straight forward & you helped me to do it myself! 😁 I see that my problem is that the cable is just having a hard time staying put where it should be, so ill prob need to put some glue to keep the cable from continuously falling backward. Otherwise it works just fine i tested it!

    Same here! I took out the gas tank fuel plastic and silicone out as it is cracked and missing a bunch of the plastic clips I have them now but I need to reinstall it for now since my door is stuck open otherwise it gets stuck closed and I’m gonna bend the tab on my gas door and glue the spring loaded plastic tabs around that got bent and cracked with some j b weld or something after reinstalling the silicone cover and all the clips and for the mean while I have a locking gas cap as it’s 2$ a litre for gas here in Canada 😢 I wish it would stay closed and open I know the lever is working as I see the pin move when it’s being pressed so I’m think the tab got bent along the way that’s my best hopeful guess so it won’t be a hard repair

    Thanks for posting this, my Civic had the exact same problem as yours. It took some time getting the cable pushed in far enough and in the correct orientation where it would stay but it worked. I noticed when attempting to re-insert the cable into the housing that if it wasn't in the correct position there was some tension on the housing and bolt enough to where it would appear to get stuck again. Once I got the cable secured it seemed to be in proper working condition and I tested it before putting the trunk carpet back in place.

    That was my exact problem, and so easy to fix - thank you! Much cheaper than the repair estimates. My fuel door works again. The only thing is that I think it might be a bit unstable as some of the plastic around the spring loading area appeared to be falling apart. I might have to get some small part to replace that.
