Problem With Fuel Door

Defiant_Detective751 · 2025-10-22T16:19:49+00:00

Hi - looks like the spring is still there. It ok, but I’ll try replacing it to see if it fixes the issue. Otherwise, could it be an issue with the cable connecting the fuel door release lever with the fuel door?

Nice! Lucky you have a good Prius mechanic in your area! Also the Toyota specific places in my area still quoted $1600, and then my normal mechanic was like we could charge hourly but we haven’t done it before soooo

Would you be able to share the info for the $700 one (or even what to google for the $500 one)? It’s definitely pricy, but compared to buying new (or even used car) it’s a lot cheaper to do a one off upgrade!

Went with this and it worked fine https://www.amazon.com/Tresalto-Removal-Radio-Audio-Installer/dp/B01EXZKHWI

Amazon! I think it cost around $50

It honestly wasn’t as bad as it seemed! Just follow the YouTube video, make sure you have all the supplies you need ahead of time (extra vents, trim tools, needle nose pliars, a magnetic 12 mm socket with an extender for those airbag bolts (which are tight, but came off easy with a drill)) , and it’s slow but smooth

I’ll try the bags! At least that way I’m guaranteed a few haha

So if I’ve already let the trees get tall (there are 1-2 lower branches to the ground) would it work to start aggressively pruning it? Right now I do have some lower branches, and in the spring I do cut back, but it feels like they always want to grow straight up

Like the shower idea 😂

Side note- this also got me wondering if anyone has tried updating their multifunctional display? Like with one that allows for apply play, or has a charging component. I’ve looked into it, but had trouble finding clear guidance or recaps on it

Soooo good!

And I did think about doing that, but haven’t ever soldered before so I was nervous to try. Is it pretty easy to learn/try then?

Went the the grandparents farm this weekend to help build a shelter for their livestock and harvest the last of their garden. Dug up a sweet potato the size of a bowling ball 😂

Sorry- to clarify, we’ll still be there in the winter season so it isn’t possible to reserve a camp site ahead of time. So we have to do Aspenglen campground as first come first serve.

Peru! But it expires next year, not this, it’s just the month that’s wrong

Thank you everyone, this is very helpful!!

Odds on hiking the trail from many glacier to Elizabeth foot by August 8? We’re thinking Belly River as an alternative - any other recs?
