RE: fuel filler door
I had that problem on my 88 stang. All I did was take the spring and latch off the fuel door and now I don't even need to push the button. Unless you have to worry about your gas getting siphoned out of your tank. If thats the case I would follow the wires from the button to the tank and check for crossed wires or a short somewhere. Who knows it could be just the button itself. Hope that helps.
