Loose wire by fuel filler tube/neck. - Toyota Yaris Forums

Could you back up a bit and take a photo of it from a distance - where the wire is entering the fuel filler area? It's not the wire to open the filler door from inside the car is it?

I was wondering that as well. The way that the end is fused onto it makes it look more like a mechanical cable than an electrical one.

Thanx guys, the filler cover still opens & closes easily as usual so I do not think it is that. It was my first thought too.

Tried some more pics but to be honest they did not show up anything more than the others. It is a bit tight in teh filler area. When you see the wire in real life it still looks like a single electrical wire with a female connection. The only possible places it could connect would be on bare metal, on the tube clamp. Is there a static earth to the filler? Not sure why though as filler tube is plastic.

I'm stumped, as there's no ground shown in the EWDs anyplace near there.

I just looked at the EPC to see if it showed a harness that for some reason the EWDs lack, but it didn't. Here's the 04 diesel's fuel fill as shown by the EPC:

Yes, I had seen that diagram, no sign of the wire. I may just have a rogue wire sitting there. I'll put a voltmeter on it see if it shows anything, or also for continuity. Thanks for taking the time to help. Regards, Chris.
