That is a simple part to replace, but difficult due to parts not being available at most dealerships, especially for foreign vehicles. That is one reason I always purchased American made vehicles and still own them only. I love the way you fully described what you checked and found the problem and after getting the part repaired it and gave the vehicle to the customer.
This was very helpful. If I didn’t find this video, my sister wouldn’t have been able to use her vehicle to get to work. Very well explained. Thank you!
A nice informative step by step process to replace the switch. The top left blue pushpin toward the rear of the suv was a little hard to see (You can see it at 18:08 -18:12 in this video) It kept the top of the door panel from releasing until I got it popped out. Replaced with a new switch and it works great. Thank You Jim !!
Thanks for the video Jim. I found that I was able to pop the switch apart and clean the simple contacts inside, just a copper bar pressing on 2 contacts. No need to buy another switch at all
This happened to my Santa Fe as well! I thought it was fuel door actuator but it would open 1/50 tries ave. Now it doesn’t open any more and it’s all bc of the little switch on the door. Thanks a lot for this video showing us how to get this done.
@@AntonioClaudioMichael I see you corrected the spelling error but Jim also uses his power probe in the bedroom as well. lolol Hope all is well Antonio!
Jim, thank you for sharing your knowledge for all of us! I did exactly as you showed on this video and it went perfectly! My wife as amazed that I could do anything like this but I gave you all the credit as I should to the glory of GOD in Christ Jesus. I know it may not always go so well but this time it did and I love it! Thank you again! May the LORD Jesus Christ lead, guide and direct you in all you say and do for His glory! Stay safe!
Would one use the same steps to fix the window buttons? I can operate my rear door window from the rear door switch but not from the control for that window in the driver door panel.
For probably 50 years gas cap doors were spring loaded. You pulled them open with your finger tip and pushed them closed with your finger. Keyed locking caps were available if you wanted to lock your filler. I can't ever remember having a problem.
I appreciate the videos, and I need to make money through the videos, but recently, TH-cam is betting putting in way too many advertisements that it makes the videos unwatchable. This one included. I don’t need to see a video advertisement every 30 seconds that I can’t skip
Surprising how much engineering is involved just to get the switch out! Nice job there Jim.

The Hyundai Santa Fe was engineered and manufactured in Montgomery, Alabama by US Auto workers.

I’m happy to help. Great job. Don’t forget to subscribe
Thanks for the video. I needed to know where the emergency release was. Now I know how to fix all of it.
Thanks to this video we could open our fuel door - very useful and helpful, Thank you very much!!
You are welcome! Don’t forget to subscribe
This video helped me install the switch. Thanks a million Jim.
This happened to me on a 2003 Honda CR-V 3 years ago so I pull on the handle so hard that I broke it. Now I use channel locks to open the fuel door.😁
Nice diag and repair Jim power probe to the rescue
Jim only uses his power robe in the bedroom. 😄

Great job and explanation as always Jim!
nice video Jim do you know how Joe's auto electric is doing just wondering any news would be helpful thanks
Great video. What is make and model number of your test light you used in the video?
Thanks for the knowledge transfer!
Good and helpull video, its posible to replace the tap for a manually one?
Thanks. Very helpful.
Great video! Excellent step by step explanations on what to do and how to do everything!
What brand of power probe is Jim using?
Nice 👌
What happens when the emergency release will not release the gas cap? What would the main issue be in that case?
How clever. Who'd of thought.
Would this method work for a 2010 vera cruz?
Brilliant!
I think it's important you know your brother in law is Heisenberg
My 2021 Santa Fe gas cover won’t open.
Ton of engineering just to get the switch out

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The switch pops out you don't have to take the panel off.
Just repair the switch internally , there is not much in there just a spring or two and contacts. 🤯
No need to diagnose it. Its 100% always the switch. These switches take a shit all the time.
