ATTAK Z Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I always have to give mine a few very quick repeat presses .... seems to do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vale Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Yer, mine was doing this a while back, i ended up taking the spring out and re-bending it a little and then putting some vaseline on the retrackable pin that the soleniod operates.... always opens now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 i had this myself also on the second time off filling up my 350z press - check press - check repeated this like 10 times, i looked like a right muppet, it eventually opened. and since then not been an issue, but i may have to do what was said above and just clean and grease it up.

I pushed mine through as well, you can easily get access to where you have pushed it through and then replace back into position. If you get down into your footwell you will see it.
