Hey,

On my way to work this morning i stop to get some gas, because I'm running on fumes, and my gas door doesn't open. The latch works, and i can hear clickin near the door when someone else pulls it and im next to the door. I've tried pulling while people do the latch, and prying it open. Anyone had this same problem? I really don't want to pay the Toyota dealership 100 dollars to unstick a latch. Thanks, brent

ok first its not just the latch theres a cable also!
when i first got my truck it was stuck and it wont cost you a 100 bucs! go to toyota and talk with one of the techs, im sure they could explain it to you! if not post again and i will ask my friend who worked on my truck how its done and i will relay this info to you. Ok? :thumbsup:

This is a common problem. There is a spring on the door hinge that commonly breaks.
