push the flap down slightly as you press the switch .....the dirt/grime '' gremlins are everywhere in this weather and can make these catches stick a bit
Had the opposite problem with mine, it wouldn't stay shut.
Jammed cardboard in the latch and that did the trick.
+1 on the wiggle and jiggle to open reluctant flaps...
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong
I carry a pocket knife just for that possibility. Sometimes the mechanical switch works but the door sticks. A thin screwdriver will also work. Push the fuel button while gently prying the door up.
If that does not work you may end up taking the plastic off that holds the fuel door and spraying some wd40 in/on the cable.
