[QUOTE="1FastVette, post: 282869, member: 7982"] For those of you that have a C7 that have yet to be bitten by the "LOCKED Fuel Door" bug, I thought it would be helpful to pass on the summary of my experience. Today (8/25/2022) I had it fixed. The GM part number needed to address this issue is 84195316 which is the fuel housing. (Invoice price $67.29) The FAILED solenoid is ATTACHED to the housing and is NOT available as a standalone item. :Nono1: The part number on the solenoid is 42353811. (You may be able to find this on ebay if you're that brave.) The housing is replaced from outside the car and removal of the wheel and/or wheel well is not required. It took the Vette Tech 40 minutes to complete the job. If I knew it was this simple I would have done it myself. The good thing was that my out of pocket deductable totaled $100, with the balance picked up by my extended warranty policy. (The total invoice was $249.69) I'm attaching a few pictures of the housing from various angles. Interestingly enough, as shown in one of the pictures, the solenoid can be simply popped off the housing unit. However, we can all figure out why GM doesn't just stock it as a replaceable item. That would have been too simple. Just like putting in a (more reliable :WillyNilly:) fuel door release cable. [/QUOTE]
