My gas door won't stay shut

Dreamin'Z

no the plunger is in the detent and I noticed the white tab and all that stuff. The question is I guess when the door is unlocked I know the tab retracts allowing you to open the fuel door. Mine however when retracted the door pops open on its own. The tab/plunger mechanisms works correctly in the door but for some reason the door isn't attracted to the plunger like it use to. What I am thinking is, the was a magnet on the inside of the fuel door that attracted it to the plunger and now mine is GONE.. Will you guys check your fuel doors for me!!! I am going to take it in tomorrow so, I guess by then Nissan can answer for it

There's no magnet. There's a separate thing (not the white one that the lock operates), it's a spring-loaded black rubber locking plunger thing, and you can push on it with your finger and it should alternate between open and closed positions.

In the Service Manual on this site, DLK.pdf page 231 has the fuel door exploded view. On that diagram "(1) Fuel filler lid opener actuator" is the white tab that actuates when the remote door lock/unlock is hit, and "(5) Lock and Rod Assembly" is the spring-loaded locking plunger thingy (covered in black rubber) that actually pops the door open (or not).
