New MV owner can't open gas cap!


 

Hello,
We are the excited new owners of a 2001 MV. The 1st time my
husband tried to put gas in he couldn't get the cap to unlock. He
put in a call to our salesman who tried to talk him through it, with
no luck. We bought the van out-of-town so we couldn't run over
for help. We do have a local dealer but the service dept. is closed
until Mon. I'm hoping someone in the group has a tip that will get
us rolling. Has anyone else had this problem? Any and all help
would be appreciated. Other then this issue, we love our new
van.
Warm regards,
Kate

If it's like ours you have to put the key in it and turn it--can't remove it without the key actually in the gas gap.

Once you get it off with the key, and it takes a little fiddleing the first
couple of times, you can set it so you don't have to use the key.

Did you use the right key? When we were closing the
deal to buy the EV, we tried the gas cap to make sure
everything was working and we couldn't get the gas cap
off either. The sales assistant tried, no luck. Turns
out we were using the glove box key, the sales guy was
new and didn't know. Hope this helps..
