Charging Port Door Stiff

Hello,

 

The charging port on my 2016 fusion energi is very stiff. When I press the button to open it, the door unlatches but does not swing open. I have to manually twist it open. Closing it is also rougher than normal.

 

Any tips on how to lubricate it or free it up? I've search for solutions to no avail. Also if I need to open it up, how do you do that? Could not find anything for that either.

 

Thanks

I don't have any suggestions other than taking it apart and cleaning out any dirt.  The good news is a new port is ~$100 give or take, and you can install it yourself. 

 

Here is a thread on this site showing step-by-step how to do it:
