hmmm.... am thinking, if the fuel door is open the door should not open at all, it should just unlock the latch. Shut your door all the way and open the fuel door, try the switch. If it does open it points towards the switch. If it does not open maybe the problem could be a dragging or sticking door but in most cases the door would reverse to close, can you try to assist the door when it is opening or closing, this will help rule out the dragging or sticking, don't push to hard though. Being this is an 05 have you checked to see if its under warranty still? I've read alot about this problem and most times it is the door motors that is the problem.

You can open your door half way, there is a latch on the bottom arm that you can push in, its hidden but you will here a click when you got it. Now try the switch and see what it does still with the door half way open. You may also want to check the latch and make sure its adjusted right, but it wouldn't happen if the door was all the way open. I will check into more trouble shooting and post back.
