Toyota Avalon Fuel Door Release Cable
With the Toyota Avalon, the Fuel Door Release Cable allows you to pop open the rear hatch to your gas tank so the driver does not need to leave the seat. The Fuel Door Release Cable functions like a strong bicycle brake line. It runs from the lever located next to the driver's seat, snakes under the carpet and trim, enters the trunk area, and connects to a quarter-turn connector that pushes the fuel door hinge open when tension is applied. The symptoms of wear remained constant with earlier Toyota Avalon generations that have the same mechanical layout, including frayed strands, stretched length, or a snapped core that leaves the door firmly shut. The Fuel Door Release Cable in older vehicles is designed so that even when the cable breaks, you can still insert a key and pry the door open. However, newer models are made so that this latch is hidden. Thus, with the cable broken, you won't be able to refuel until the line is replaced. Regularly changing the Fuel Door Release Cable will save drivers from these headaches. Each Toyota Avalon uses one straight-pull Fuel Door Release Cable. Installing a new cable involves threading it along the old cable's path and reattaching the lever, clips, and white plastic trunk connector.

Toyota Avalon Fuel Door Release Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install the Fuel Door Release Cable on a 2002-2006 Toyota Avalon?A:During Avalon fuel door and trunk release cable work, you must take apart and put back both cables at the same time. Begin by removing the trunk latch. To get to the Fuel Door Release Cable end, pull the left-side panel and floor mat inside the trunk. Push and turn the tabs on the Fuel Door Release Cable end to unlock it from the fuel door housing. Then pull it straight until it releases. To free the cable end retainer, you need to twist it out of its bracket. First, get rid of the rear seat bottom. For coupes, you'll have to eliminate both seat back and bottom at the same time. Men working on the driver's side door sill covers will find only one cover for coupes and need to remove the trim piece attached to the center door pillar when working on four-door cars. Pull up the carpeting to reach the release cable, then detach it from all the clips stuck to the car's body. Unscrew the bolt holding the release handle's base to the floor by pulling apart the carpet's small opening. Pull off the housing parts to take out the cable holders and eyes from their levers. In the trunk space, thread wire through the cable end, then use the wire to pull the entire cable rearward until it's visible. To finish up, connect the wire to the front end of the new cable, and send it back through the body by pulling, until you can affix it to the lever. This ends the replacement process.
